This is a solid wood handcarved
and handpainted Mallard Drake decoy signed and dated by Bob
Jones. Full size carving measuring 13-3/4' long, by 5-1/2"
wide and sits 5-1/2" high. Glass eyes. Very nice profile. Head
is tilted approximately 10 degrees to the left. Excellent
condition.
Very light wood - my guess
is Basswood. Nice job on the carving, very smooth, nice profile.
Semi transparent color stains
were used for finishing. The finish is flat - No laquer or
varnish was used. Signed on the bottom by Bob Jones and dated
2001. Also remnants of a price sticker.
