To craft the bodies of my working decoys, I use a singular piece of air dried wood- either Northern White or Eastern White Cedar. The heads of the decoys are made from separate pieces of the same wood species but are carefully chosen for choice grain orientation and clarity.

The oil paint of the working decoys is stabilized and protected with a bit of linseed oil and enables me to create a true work of art that is durable.
