Steve that is one sweet decoy. My decoy will end up being a drake chestnut teal it is one of Australia's prettiest ducks.
I will take your advice on the head I think it is two large as well.
The bill I find a challenge I am thinking of ordering a training bill if there is such a thing...
Attached my palm frond decoy with balsa wood head, it's been feather stamped. I'm from down in Australia so any advice is helpful. There are not a lot of carvers in Australia. I have learned a heap from this online community.
Heres mine I have been dappling for a few years down here in Australia it is a Chestnut teal drake made from palm frond the head is also from palm frond
