Atticus Finch said:When I make a decoy, I am carefull to make it using the same methods, and using the same kinds of materials as were availabe to the carvers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I don't use modern paints, glues or cloth. I purchase the wood I use (juniper) from a boatyard in Harker's Island that has been producing wooden boats for eighty years. In this way, I hope to be preserving a bit of coastal heritage. At least, that's my goal.

I love it when someone restricts themselves to historical methods to reproduce classic items! Good work you displayed, Atticus.
