Read some testimonials form some of the countries finest carvers and taxidermists.
I have been carving decoys and realistic bird sculptures professionally since the mid-1970’s. There is nothing that projects realism and life more to any bird carving and sculpture than the glass eyes we add to those sculptures. We always had to settle with commercially-made Taxidermy “quality” glass eyes which are at best mediocre with poor color selections, inconsistent sizes and pupils, and frustrating availabilities until now………!
Mike Braun has created what I consider the absolute finest glass eye available today…..anywhere! Through his in-depth study and replication, his realistic details go beyond the precise pupil shapes, but most importantly the species-specific authenticity of the iris color and the iris structure and patterning which rivals only the actual bird species themselves! For me, I was sold on his eyes the day I received my first pairs of Cormorant eyes. I was stunned! I have made quite a few Cormorant decoys over the years and all that time I had to settle for poor quality and disappointing “green” colored eyes. Not anymore! Mike’s Cormorant eyes are alive with color and vivid iris markings, exactly like a live Cormorant. Now thanks to Mike, I have a complete selection of species-specific authentic glass eyes in my possession from Seabirds to unusual species. Now, that dynamic spark of life I had been searching for my sculptures and carvings for all these years has found me! There is no better glass eye available anywhere!

After 34 years of carving I’ve finally found glass eyes for my birds that are worth switching to. The quality and true to life appearance sold me from the moment I held my first pair. I could not be more satisfied! The eyes make the bird!! Thank you Mike!

Over my 40 years of carving decoys, listening to collectors or judges, the most important areas of the decoy is the face of the decoy. For the amount of time and effort each carver applies to their creation why would anyone want to skimp when it comes to the eyes. Buy the best you can and insert them into your artwork. It has always been difficult to find high quality commercial eyes for unique species and those commonly available eyes were, well… acceptable because that is what was available. Today, the game has changed and there is a new, elite glass eye supplier in town, Michael Braun, Fulix Project / MRB Decoy supplies the best, custom handmade glass eyes available for Waterfowl Carvers and taxidermists. Ease of order to speed of delivery are top notch. Eye pupils, coloration and product are over the top. You can’t go wrong with MRB Decoy glass eyes, simply the best! Give them a try, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!
