Two days later, this baby was sporting new curves! I had to grab a photo via my cell phone. I can only imagine what progress will have been made when I return on the 15th!

A New Year
To herald in the new year, I thought it would be fun to follow one of Bart's projects from the start. But I showed up on January 1 only to discover that the new piece was already in work. Well, this is close to the beginning....

Canvasback Drake
Completed December 2011
The Canvasback is the largest of the North American diving ducks and is distinguished, in part, by its striking red eye, its wedge-shaped head, and long graceful neck. According to Wikipedia, the canvasback ranges from 19-22 inches and weighs 2 - 3.5 pounds. This carving is actually quite hefty!
Bart carved the Canvasback Hen last year so I will make a note to photograph the mate later this week and show the pair together. In the meantime, this is the recently completed carving of the male duck.
