Summer 2011

Wildfowl carvers know how to keep things interesting, and the Summer 2011 issue lives up to this tradition. From adding a little "funky" personality to decoys to embracing the unusual appearance of the cormorant, these articles will keep readers up on the latest in carving—and entertained at the same time. Another exciting feature is the article from Jerry Simchuk on the nitty-gritty details of taking commissions, which are highly rewarding but sometimes tricky to navigate. The violet-green swallow, falcon, and mergansers round out the roster.
