    • Drake Wood Duck Vintage Working Decoy Original Working Paint Hand Carved From Cedar by Danny Lee Heuer.
    • This decoy is from my 96 year old (deceased) fathers estate and my private decoy collection of my Dad's best to me.
    • Hand carved and painted by Danny Lee Heuer out of Michigan High Ground White Cedar circa late 1980's.
    • Approximate size is; 13 " in length by 9 " high and 5 1/2" wide, a full size working decoy.
    • My father was one of the "Old Time" carvers/duck hunters and his decoys reflect a lifetime of knowledge and love of the "sport of kings!"
    • This Wood Duck Decoy was one of Dad's late 80's carvings, and a winter painted & carved decoy project. 
    • His early "winter painted" decoys, always seemed to me to be more slowly painted, as he had time and his hands could still hold the paint brushes more easily.
    • This decoy he took the time to "vein" has feather patterns as an experiment, and the painting reflects much of those efforts.
    • Early in his carving career, before arthritis bothered his hands, he would paint several decoys in a tighter style than later on, this is one of those first decoys he do so.
    • This was my very favorite decoy that he had carved to hunt over with his turned head style that became prominite in his carving carrer, along with the underside of the bills carved out.
    • The bottom of the decoy has dad's name carved into it with the SSM location info as the picture shows
    • We floated this decoy in the early 89 season as I remember only once , and actually did not hunt over it, as it was in a small pot hole, and floated more or less to see how it looked in the water.
    • After this decoy was floated, it was retired to my personal collection room as I loved the painting on it and carving style and has been on my shelf for nearly 36 years.
    • This Vintage Working Drake Wood Duck Decoy is now up for grabs & available for a addition to that serious decoy collection.
    • This Decoy comes with a unique hand made display stand to accomadate the keel with 12 ga. shotgun shell bases on a 3/4" wooden base approximately 6" long, by 3 1/2" wide, a great looking display stand, as shown by the picture.
    • The poster: "The Decoys of Danny Lee Heuer" comes with your purchase at no extra charge.
    • The poster shows just a small sample of the many decoys that he carved during his carving career.
    • Surprise that someone special in your life and give the gift that never stops giving, and they will always remember who it came from!
