Decoy Carving, Pintails,"Ward Style", 1 of 7

Follow along as I take you through my techniques for carving and Painting a Drake and Hen Pintail in the style of the Ward Brothers of Crisfield Md. If you have followed my previous videos in the past, nothing has changed at all as to what tools and bits I use to carve these birds. The only thing that has changed is the birds themselves. I am using plain ole 2X8's you could purchase at any lumber yard. I look for the nice 2X8's when I buy them though. Take the time to go through the pile. Another difference in these Pintails is the way I hollow them. I really like my procedure for hollowing. Another difference in this demonstration is the way I seal the finished carving prior to painting. I use Cork Sealer which I will show you. If you watched my other video's, they are all demonstrated pretty much in real time. In this demo, I speed up a lot of the repetitive footage. If you want to slow it down you can use the slow motion speed option on your settings. So, sit back and enjoy the Process that I use for carving a pair of Pintails.
