Here is a finished piece I thought I would share with the THF. My client sent the Harlequin with the decoy and said "make it work". This thought came to mind right away. Any THF folks that are into the Safari Club show please come by and say hi. I took the plunge this year and got a booth.

Great water work! Shane asked me if I wanted to learn that last time I was there ......NO! I don't need to add any more costs to my addiction.

No kidding on the cost. I vowed to never do one of these again until it was for a customer. The SCI show is Jan 3-6 at the Dallas Convention center.

Wow! This is more along the lines of art than taxidermy. Amazing.

That's what all taxidermy should be!

Gorgeous work. I feel like he's about to hop right into those breakers. Where was the bird harvested?

My dog snores.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. This was one of those pieces that makes this all worth it after 20 years. This bird was taken with Peninsula Sportsman Outfitters in Port Townsend WA. I will have some of their info in my booth at the SCI show.
