Welcome Charlie to the whittlers group..happy to have you sign up... now we want to see a few pictures, so we can have something to talk about.. my bird carving days or over except for doing the feet making and the layout for the birds the wife carves.. I still do a decoy now and then,but since I retired from teaching do not do many of them..have mainly went back to whittling from a stick. Have a nice day and WELCOME
