Gave my favorite uncle a choice when visiting a few years ago between a realistically painted mallard decoy and an unpainted wooden sculpture of a mallard and to my surprize he took the unpainted sculpture saying he wanted to see the wood.
Since I can market an unpainted bird for half of what a painted one goes I have been making these for the last month to see if unpainted has a place in sales as sculpture, bookends etc.
All are done in yelllow cedar from high altitude on Vancouver Island.
I would like to keep the pairs together as shown so will offer them at $275. per pair and if they don't sell within a week I will offer the individual birds of your choice for $150. each
Both sets are green wing teal with one set being 10% larger than lifesize (decoy for better visibility)
PM questions
