This article was created to show other people how I create decoys using old- fashioned methods. I hope that this will show new carvers how much can be done with simple, cheap, and everyday tools.

| Carving a Wigeon Head with Spencer Tinkham |
|
This carving was made as a gift for a neighbor, classmate, teammate, and fellow duck hunter who faced a crippling accident that left him partially paralyzed. He is currently steadily recovering. I chose a widgeon because it reminds us of the many times that we called them in, and laughed at the funny head positions they had. Widgeon have always been a favorite of mine. |
