Learn how to create classic decoys that have stood the test of time. In this photo-filled how-to book, Keith Hendrickson describes in detail the ways each of the country’s different schools of carving made hard-working decoys that brought in the birds, and how carvers can follow in their footsteps. From the Delaware and Barnegat Bays to North Carolina’s Core Sound and the Delta Marsh of Manitoba, Old-School Decoys serves as your guide to carving and painting waterfowl in the style of yesteryear’s masters.

Includes carving techniques using knives, rasps, saws, and chisels to create a distinctive old-school appearance as well as texturing, painting, and finishing techniques that result in a realistic, lived-in look. Also includes patterns.
