Here are two of my new decoys that I just carved the other day. I started carving old time decoys from the 50s-60s out of cedar. I find them on the Internet at auction and try and match them up as close as I can. Ive had people look at them and ask were I found them. Its a lot of fun and will be doing many many more.

So what do you guys think?

Are you using a drawknife to shape these?

OH yeah, I forgot about the spoke shave. It is smaller. I don't have one. I should get one. Where, is the question. Some catalog or on the internet. What are you using for wood? I used to use old telephone poles just like the old timers did. They were Western White Cedar. That is hard to come by now. Are you carving those single piece?
