Floppyshoes sent me these photos yesterday and gave me permission to post them.

I eagerly anticipate their arrival after their long southward flight

Nice workmanship! What are you gonna store in the 2nd slot of that box?

One of the two ducks

Is that curly or tiger maple for the scales? Are the spaces in that box lined with padding (darn fine idea)?

Nice!
Love the old brasswork on that shiny wood.
... well and the coffin as well.

WOW! I don't usually say this to guys (or gals) but "nice pair".Great looking ducks.That tiger maple is nice stuff.

DD Goldedge and Satinedge
Blued spine and tang (cold blued, but with the old, toxic stuff that looks good)
Face and back are satin finish

Scales:
Tiger Maple, african blackwood wedge, recycled brasswork, proprietary finish.

Box:
Double razor case. Face is kiaat, sides are walnut, top and foot are zircote, inside is partially lined with cedar. Rubbed oil finish. I couldn't decide on what I wanted to use for the box, so I used a little of everything.

Whoa! Those ducks look very tasty indeed. As for the box, it seems that with a couple of well placed holes, Lee could get a fairly sophisticated woodwind instrument, too!

Good Stuff Dan!!!

I think I better test those for Lee.........
