I'm needing to find a supplier of products for carving decoys . I have a grandchild interested and I need to know where to go to get the supplies.
Thanks,

pm gator.

He is wise in most things "ducky" and in things that will make you loose your hair, vomit blood, and skin peel off. :mrgreen:

JEFF nailed it.

talk to mr. willy and mrs. diane.....they have starter kit, fit with everything someone needs to carve their first canvasback.

suggestion: start w/ divers as they differenent areas of coloration are more defined....this just makes it easier to get a "feel" for the painting....

great hobby, good on your grandchild for taking up a tradition such as this.

ditto with jeff and Gator about Mr. Willy from Duck blind.....I had no experience and was able to make a working decoy first attempt....he teaches hand tools and power....Painting was very clearly explained and easy to duplicate.
