Working Decoys

Waiting!

Listed here are some working style decoys that could actually be hunted over that are for sale. I have Pintails, Green Wing Teal, Mallards and Canvasbacks. Shown above are mallards, pintails, and green wing teal.

Splash! Thrown in and still floating!

They are made out of White Pine, painted in oil paints, hollowed out, and are self-righting(in other words, if you throw them out, they automatically turn up to float).

Decorative Birds

Also, from time to time, I will have some decorative pieces for sale that are original, one of a kind. Contact me via email at kerry@thebirdcarver.com

This Drake Woodduck is currently available for sale. It was featured this last fall and winter in the Dixon Museums show titled, “The Call of the Wild”, a history of waterfowl hunting on the Mississippi Flyway. It is carved out of Tupelo Gum and painted with oil paints. Email Kerry if interested.

Knives

I have designed a knife that fits in my hand that I use for carving. As much as I possibly can, I will use a knife to do the work. Why? Because I like to feel what my art piece is becoming. Just like a clay artist feels the work with their hands, I feel my work with a knife. Now I will use some electric tools from time to time, but I like to use a knife for as long as I possibly can. So, listed on my website are some knives for sale. They take about 3 months to make so if you are interested, let me know. Below are a few pictures of them.

They fit so well in your hand and are great for working with Tupelo Gum
