Hand Carved gunning style duck decoys. Each decoy is carved from tupelo wood, cypress, or cork, and hand painted in the decorative gunning style. This means that the decoy itself is smooth and the details on the duck are from the painting process rather than the carving. That style allows for a realistic decoy that can handle the rigorous conditions of a duck hunt. Whether you like hunting over traditional wooden decoys, or you just want a custom hand carved art piece for the shelf, you will enjoy these decoys. Below is a gallery of my current collection of decoys available.
