About this product

Product Information

For decoy enthusiasts and collectors who want to replicate the grace, flow, and imperfections found in antique duck decoys, this resource presents the process for carving the traditional, streamlined wood replicas. Chapters focus on every aspect of this classic art form--from selecting the proper wood and cutting out the head and eyes to body surface and tail detail. Additional sections offer tips on the painting of decoys, including information on selecting a color palette, blending paint lines, mixing paints, glazing, and aging by employing both ding-and-dent technology and water- and heat-stress methods.

Reviews
The photography and layout in all areas of the book was phenomenal. The step-by-steps were clear and in synch with the text and supportive of the text, and there are a couple of very artistic still-life hunting scenes. Finally, there was my favorite part of the book, the painting schedule and instruction. It seems very detailed, complete, and unambiguous. Several years ago, when I carved and painted my first wood duck, I paid more than the price of this book for a booklet on just painting the wood duck. That guide was not even half as well done as the painting schedule in "Antique Style Duck Decoys".Chapter 4: PaintingAwesome, awesome, awesome.
