Christmas Tree Ornament

Dear Friends, 

My goal has been to do Christmas ornaments of all the waterfowl, (ducks, geese, and swans) of North America of which there are over 45 species. I started this project in 1990 with an annual ornament. Fearing I wouldn't be able to complete this goal, I have been pre-releasing future years—this year I made the 2026 ornament.

The collection is a price-limited edition, meaning that once the current piece is issued, all pieces from previous years go up $1.00. Over time, the value of the collection will, by itself, limit the number produced.  In this way the price will limit the size of the collection and protect the collectable value for our annual repeat customers. 

As I near the end of my carving career, I have decided to no  longer make the ornaments from 2021 and earlier as of this year. Several of these older pieces can still be purchased from the Delmarva Discovery Museum in Pocomoke City, Maryland. 

Let us be the first to wish you and yours all the Blessing of the Christmas season to come and a New Year filled with happiness.
