The most interesting fact is she has only been power carving for 2 years and this only her 9th bird. Her attention to detail fooled many guests at a fine art show In Raleigh, NC this weekend. Several commented from a distance they thought it was real, that is a true complement for her skills.

Enjoy....

Beautiful!! I fortunately enough am friends with quite a few waterfowl carvers and this ranks right up there with the best I’ve seen.

Thank you everybody for your lovely and positive feedback!
I really appreciate it!

It’s only been 2 years of carving and I can’t wait to do more and improve with every project.

I didn’t know Jim was posting this- he is my number 1 fan and the best and most wonderful husband!
I think In need to be back on the forum more often…have been absent for a while…

Thanks again!

After 120+ hours she is more than ready to move one, especially with cash waved in her face.... Smile


Wow! I’d have expected more time to do something that amazing. The price seems low for that many hours of that skilled work. Whoever buys it is getting a steal!
