1: Antique-style duck decoys
Another great book by Tom Matus. I finished both projects in the book and I'am very pleased with the results. The book has great pictures and clear instructions. Tom tells you how to carve, paint and antique birds. The wood duck was a hard paint job for me but the end result was worth it. Thanks J. Mallory

2: Another Great Book by a Master
After buying and trying Tom's first book. I was amazed that in the end, I had a decoy I could be proud of; all on my first try. I am not a stranger to woodworking so having a band saw and drill press helps, but you can always find a friend with one or order roughed out blanks on the internet. This book is a great opportunity to try another style of decoy. It is not a follow-on but stands independantly with start to finish photos and detail. The spring Woodcarving Illustrated has a companion Wood Duck Hen to the book's feature Drake. After talking with Tom Matus via web ring, the first thing I learned was this is art, not science. Variations are okay and his sketches are by hand. My first duck sits on my mantle, but it is water ready. That is the goal by the way. Nothing prouder than hunting over your own "rig"
