One of the most beautiful ducks in the world is the mandarin drake. With its long crest and delicate sails, it is highly prized by serious collectors and makes an outstanding competition mount as well. World Champion Kelly Seibels regularly sells single mandarin mounts for up to $2,000.00 in galleries. In this tape, he demonstrates his step-by-step procedures for skinning, defatting, cleaning, mounting, grooming and finishing a beautiful preening mandarin duck. Kelly uses an artificial bill, a rigid mannikin with a flexible neck, and injects the feet. Recorded in WASCO Studio.
