Aye Mates,
A trio of diving duck decoys (working gunner style) that I carved years ago. Fore to aft, a Bufflehead, a Goldeneye, and a Canvasback, all three birds representing drakes. All of the bodies were carved in cork and the heads are of North Atlantic white cedar. All feature internal ballast design keels and will self-right if flipped in rough waters. All are painted in oils. I particularly like the dings and scrapes sustained from their use whilst hunting and feel it gives the decoys a special patina never achieved sitting on the mantle.
Cheers,
Irishwhistler 🍀🇮🇪🇺🇸
