Capt. Ross handcarves these decoys from either juniper (white cedar) or white pine.  Most are special orders.

P.G. carves these birds using similar techniques for duck decoys and handpaints them (using only brushes) in an "impressionistic" style using oil paints that strays from detailing each individual feather, but instead uses techniques to simulate the overall look of the feather patterns.  The oil paints and finishes result in a carving with deep rich colors that will develop a fine patina over the years.

 
Many differing head and body positions are utilized to capture all the various activities and characters of shorebirds.  This results in truly one-of-a-kind carvings.
