I'm not a waterfowl guy as I'm not really in the area for it, however I think waterfowl are some of the most striking birds out there. I sent this wood duck pair off to Michigan a few years ago to be mounted and just received them back last week. Interested to see if anyone else has any waterfowl mounts that they would like to share as I'd love to see them. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SKMJwvsP/E7-E47025-D0-F0-4-DFD-AC32-50661-CB36-DF2.jpg)

I thought all the wood ducks were in Ga
Just kidding, great mount
A 3 year turn around though? wow. That's patience.

Found a couple on my imgur I made this shadow box, bought some cedar from lowes and let it age a few weeks outside, then hit it with a mixture of steel wool, vinegar, and tea bags. Grayed it right up. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EZXizNp.jpg)

KillerV- she was in the middle of building a new shop. She told me up front it would be lengthy, but I don't get in a hurry for much and I wanted her to do the work. So it was all good with me. That's a nice looking mount.

I wish I had a better pic of this, this was when it was still in progress. The wife's cat that chewed on the breast feathers after bringing it home is no longer with us.... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/851CVYjV/woodduck.jpg)

kamo gari has a bunch of incredible bird mounts.
