First decoy to be completed in the new shop about to be headed to its new owner.

In early January of 2021 after a painful experience closing on our new and first home during the pandemic while working 5 hours from home for several months we had a fire in the shop while trying to get it setup to start carving again. Insurance refused to cover any damages due to a technicality in the paper work. Wasn’t a total loss since I am a full time union carpenter and did the rebuild myself 100% out of pocket. Unfortunately a lot was lost including records. I truly want to make it right with anyone who had an order placed with me, so if that was you or someone you know please reach out. Going forward I will not be taking any deposits for orders but if not paid in full at completion they will be listed for sale. I am glad to be carving again, my best work yet is to come!
