Foosh, I built a shop in the backyard. (It Meets HOA/CCR's and City Code, so it goes without saying that it was a whoppin' getting it all set up.) As always Sir, I will continue to post pics as long as folks like to look at 'em. up

The mounts look great as always, and I also look forward to your pictures. How far are you moving from your current shop?

I love the sitting pheasant on the wall and the golden eye. What is the bird between the sitting pheasant and GWT? Dove? Chakalaka?

John,
I got really good, yet unexpected, feedback on that pose. I will post pics of it tommorow in a snow scene. I think ya'll will like it when all finished.

About 15 minutes away, back to my house, where I originally started. (Near Trinity and 820.) Thanks for the positive feedback on the pics as well.

Yessir, and it's shaping up to be something special. What a freakin' specimen! You will have to wait a little longer as I want to do a special base for it and have it photographed. Should be a nice Christmas Present. up

I'm surprised you are the only one that saw that. It's a White-Tail Dove. There is a story behind it...I will post pics and the explanation tommorow. grin

I'm Sorry it took so long to respond, but I've been working on the new shop all week and keeping up with mounting and finishing birds as well...tough week, but very satisfying in the end. No rest for the weary though, final installs of shop equipment on Sunday and then back to mounting on Monday. (Important to note: I'm not complaining about the long hours...I'm thankful to have a job in this economy.)

Client brought them back this week to add a Glass Case to protect them. I will extend the habitat and add water to the scene in a new walnut base.

Yessir, I think an incoming one would look nice next to your other mounts laugh...did your brother like his deer I mounted?
