I'm sure there are a good bit of carvers on here, so I'm interested in what rules you have for carving. I'm going on a few years now, and only get to work at intermittent times. So far I only have two rules:

1. Ducks don't have flat parts
2. I can't carve worth a damn sober

What rules have you come across?
For anyone who doesn't carve and is looking to get into it, definitely check out workingdecoys.net. They are good people over that way. You sure as hell won't save a dime, quite the opposite. But when nothing's flying it's pretty cool looking at your birds, thinking "well at least my redheads look good".
