2011 was a good year of carving with tutoring by Curt Salter of Harkers Island and Tony Bua of Vilas, N.C. I am learning skills but also many of my shorebird carvings are from my own photos from Rachel Carson Reserve.

2010 Birds

A hummingbird for my sister Shirley and some of my other birds for the year. Besides many other carvings, I helped as the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild helped youth carve 125 birds thru the year. Well worth the effort.

2009 Carvings

A few birds from 20009

Some 2008 Decoys

I do 25 to 50 waterbirds each year--these are some from 08
