Dear
‘Duck Decoy Carver to be’
How
many times have you thought you would really like to be able
to carve a duck decoy
like the ones you see illustrated in the magazines and displayed at the
craft shows but you didn’t know where to start?
Did
you start to search for information, only to find so much, but none of
it relevant to a beginner, especially one who has never carved wood
before?
Well,
so have I. So I decided to do something about it and
find…
A Step-by-step
Illustrated Guide for Beginners to help you start to make your first
carved duck decoy
So
why did I decide to do this…
Many
years ago when I was a child, (OK, I’m not getting any
younger) I really wanted to help my father when he was doing woodwork
– nothing fancy, shelves and similar items - but I loved the
smell of the cut wood and seeing an article being created from a
shapeless block, and I wanted to do it too!
But
my mother said that wasn’t something a girl should do
(haven’t times changed now, I’m glad to say) and I
turned my hands to other craft projects such as knitting, cross-stitch,
and tapestry, which - I have to say - I still enjoy.
As
I got older I did make shelves, and I’m a whizz at assembling
flat pack furniture, but never until recently did I think about really
creating something from wood. But then …
I
bought an ornament recently – a duck – and my
younger daughter said “Oh, another addition to your duck
collection”.
I
looked round, and realized I do have quite a variety of ducks which I
have collected in my travels – some decorative and some
practical.
Oh
yes, and those two beautiful duck needlepoint designs (completed some
time ago but still not assembled into cushions – I
don’t enjoy that part of the job!).
And
that’s not to mention that fantastic book (OK, books, lots of
them) with the designs I want to stitch. But,
that’s going off the subject …
A Hand Carved
Duck Decoy is a Work of Art
I
started thinking, and remembered the time some 12 or more years ago
when I first saw a real hand
carved duck decoy …
I
was on a business trip to Connecticut, USA, and had a couple of hours
before I needed to drive to Boston and catch my plane back to the UK
(mind you, nobody told me how bad the traffic was round Boston, so I
nearly missed the plane, but again, another story).
So
I went for a walk round Mystic Seaport, and in the shop there I saw two
fantastic life-size hand
carved ducks. Oh, did I want to buy
one of them, but it was 6 days before Christmas, money was tight, and I
hadn’t bought half the Christmas presents, so I talked myself
out of it, but didn’t forget.
Two
years later I was back in Mystic, money in my pocket – and
they didn’t have any of them in the shop, and nobody could
tell me where to find any of them!
There’s
a moral here, think it goes something like “never
put
off until tomorrow what you should do today”!
So, back to
today, and my research into Duck Decoys
…or
decoy
ducks as I sometimes find myself describing them.
I
have found the most fantastic handcarved
ducks, learnt a lot about their history, and the
people who carve them.
What
I didn’t find anywhere was an eBook that would help me
discover if I actually had the skills
to carve a duck decoy. Or that would show me how to do it
without having to buy a lot of expensive woodworking equipment before I
could even try!
Also,
I’m in the UK, and almost everything I found was in the US.
Tell
a lie, I did find one eBook about wood carving,
and I bought it. But it was factual, short and to the point,
totally impersonal and written by somebody who obviously had never
carved anything himself, and certainly not carved a duck decoy.
And not an illustration in the whole 30 odd pages!
What’s more, it only had a 30 day money back guarantee
– not much time in which to test it out!
So, I decided
to learn how to do it, and write a Beginners Guide to Carving a Duck
Decoy eBook myself…
The
Learn
How to Carve a Duck Decoy book is unique because
it is the first beginner’s guide which has been written by a
beginner for beginners!
The
Learn How
to Carve a Duck Decoy book is the result of many
many weeks of research into this fascinating subject and, most
importantly…
The
result of me sitting down with a piece of wood and a craft knife and
“having a go”.
The
focus is strictly on someone like yourself who is just beginning to
learn the skills required to carve
a duck decoy, but doesn’t want to have
to make major financial outlays on equipment before they can begin.
It’s
a combination of the facts you need to know, together with step-by-step
pictures - and my running commentary - of my first attempt to carve a Mallard Duck Decoy!
You saw him at the beginning of this letter!

Beware
– Carving Duck Decoys is Addictive!
A
World Champion carver
of duck decoys told me that, and he was right!
I
carved my
first duck, and I can’t wait to start
carving the next one! And then I want to learn how to do more
detailed work, carve feathers, textures, learn more painting
techniques, and …
Learn to Carve
a Duck Decoy - Together!
This
is the first book in what I hope will be a series, building on the
experiences of all of us as we develop our duck carving skills,
and it’s NEW!
Because
we are all starting to learn together, I am offering this book to you
for an introductory price of $29.97.
That’s
the same price I paid for that factual short book from a non-woodcarver
that I told you about earlier, so I reckon mine is actually worth at
least double this price - probably treble, and you
can keep it for a
year and still get your money back if you
don’t feel it has been of value to you!
And…
there’s more!
Remember
all that research I did? Well, I found some informative Woodcarving Manuals
in eBook format, written by a professional woodcarver who, in his own
words, is “Dedicated to the teaching, the learning and the
love of woodcarving”.
This
is information that “money can’t
buy” - he refuses to take any payment for
these reference manuals - and the following five titles are
available to download with the Learn
How to Carve a Duck Decoy eBook.
The
descriptions of the manuals below are extracts from his introductions
...
1. A Guide to
Safe
Woodcarving
Take
woodcarving safety seriously.
Why be glumly, and painfully, wiser with hindsight when foresight is
always to hand?
2. Learning to Carve - 1
Knowledge
and skill can make
even a
little ability go a long
way!
What’s the best way to make the most of what we have, and go
about learning to carve?
3. Learning to Carve - 2
A
short series of articles touching on the more non-physical aspects of
carving which are just as important as the physical when it comes to
how well or joyfully people carve - or IF they carve at all!
4. Woodcarving
Fundamentals
There
are some things in woodcarving which are, indeed, fundamental.
In
these articles I have picked out half a dozen of my favourites and if
I’m any good as a carver then it’s because I
understand the
importance of these fundamentals.
5. Mistakes and
Woodcarving
A
series of short essays. Not so much about specific mistakes and what to
do - an infinite playing field! - but the best approach and response to
carving errors of judgment, or innattention.
And…
even more!

P.P.S. I was so
proud when I completed my first duck. I called in
to visit my younger daughter and her family on my way home with my duck
(his name is Bill - silly habit, I know, but I have a habit of giving
names to things and I did have a bit of a struggle carving his bill)
wrapped in my coat. My youngest granddaughter, Leah, aged two
and a half, took one look at him and said “It’s a
duck” and cuddled and stroked him - I thought I’d
never get him back. A very enjoyable
experience. Order your Learn How to Carve a Duck Decoy
