I have thought about this. I have a hard time sharpening a pencil consistently. I use disposable blade on different knives regularly because of my ineptitude at sharpening items. It’s something to consider.

I didn’t realize there were so many variations. What size and shape should I start with?

Looking forward to seeing them.

It will hunt. I’ll throw a keel on it and try again. I love the colors and head shape.

So unfortunately I can’t handle having a decoy I’m dissatisfied with. The back is too high. When I scaled it down I did not adjust the height of the body. Of course it would have worked fine but I decided to alter it with paint before I stripped it and reshaped it. My wife thinks I’m crazy...

Well it’s 95% done. Need to soften the lines a bit. I didn’t take the back down enough, but my wife suggested I add to the neck which made a pretty big difference. I am looking forward to another one. I’ll make the tail longer and back shorter.

Thanks. I was really pleasantly surprised how easy it was. I definitely used everyone’s advice here and then just went at it. Just can’t decide if it’s a hen or drake. What does everyone think? Maybe I’ll take a poll and let you all decide.

I took a head that I discarded, cut it down and whipped up a body today. I’m sort of happy with it so far!

Took it to the bandsaw and I feel better now. I might take the back down a little more.

Well the bad news is that I am really unhappy with the head and the head to body ratio. The good news is that I think I can fix it. But it’s my first try at a non-ducks-in-a-row diver decoy.
