I have 6 LLB Goldeneye, I believe them to be 60s/70s era, for being of this age they are in nice shape, the cork isn't crumbly as you often see in them, and a good amount of the original paint remains, this being said, they are well hunted over, and appear as such, far from perfect. I guess I'd...

I opened a new bucket(?) of molding paste this morning, its what I use to create stippling and combing texture on my decoys. The container has a waxed paper seal like most factory containers that hold liquids do, and when I peeled it back it was heavily coated in material. I took the plastic...

I have 3 "fat head" LL Bean black ducks, never been used, I believe these were made in the late 90s. I'd like $50 each, plus shipping from East Hampton, CT. Thanks, Bill

I have 8 Victor Black Duck Decoys in used but otherwise great shape for the age. $75 plus shipping from 06464. Thanks, Bill

I've been slowly..very slowly...putting together a personal rig of LLB decoys for my personal hunting rig. They've all been "fixer uppers" I've gotten for cheap that needed attention. I've recently found some that are of desirable vintage (60s/70s) and just a little "too nice" that I'm not...

I recently bought a 17' runabout to use for parts (mainly the 90 yamaha[;)]) for my Pelicano build, and with it came many parts which are in great shape but of no use to me, first being this seat and pedestal combo: Its a Garelick setup, and although I never played with it before I stripped it...

Older (60s-70s?) LLB Pintail and Whistler, in original paint. Cork is solid on both, less a chip here and there (see pics), just rough paint. I'd like $75 each, includes shipping. Thanks for looking, Bill

Great Shape, looks like it may have only been hunted a time or two, maybe even just some scuffs from banging around a garage or barn, no scratches or cracks, just the light scuffs on the head you can see in the picture. $40 Shipped, $30 pickup in central Connecticut...

Bird carved by me around 2008, HD cork, pine head and tail, and an Ipe keel with brass hardware. From my rig, in great shape but shows some normal wear. Painted in oils. $65 shipped.

I couldnt Let Steve Sanford have all the fun!! The goose is from my own rig, has been hunted a bunch and therefore looks a little rough/dirty. It only really needed a clean up, sanding, sealing and paint. I textured the head but left the original eyes. The mallard is for a friend, I just...

I haven't used these in quite a few years, so I figured I'd sell them. Carved in 2008 from cork, pine heads, Oil paint and hardwood dowels. $125 for the pair. Will consider trades for other hand carved decoys.

I had a request to carve a pair of full bodied wood ducks that would be able to "cling to a branch or be propped up as if sitting on a rock on the side of the pond". So the carving was the easy part, but had to wrack my brain a bit as how to make them multi-purpose. I came up with the idea to...

Since this is by far the most work I've ever put into a decoy rig, I thought it might be cool to document and share it here. The rig is for 24 "E-Allen sized" common eider, with one lifesized king eider drake, Stellers eider drake, and Spectacled Eider drake, to be completed in two parts. I'm...

After selling my TDB and spending the past couple months looking for a fishing boat for the family (laugh it up youngsters), I've decided after years of dreaming of building a big boat, that I would take the next couple years, and money from the TDB to do so. SO after more hours than I care to...

First is a goose, original paint, black on the head has been touched up and one glass eye broken. Chine has some rough spots but not too bad. $75 [URL=http://s171.photobucket.com/user/Billwigeon/media/A88EB5EA-1C21-497C-AFF6-3EACE65408B4_zpslnh1wpoy.jpg.html] Coastal Mallard Pair (these are...

Thought you guys might enjoy these bobcat pics I took yesterday while shed hunting. He (she?, I'm not very educated on cats), stayed within 25-35 yards of me for about 15 minutes. Eerie but really cool!

This is the decoy I posted in this months workbench thread. Since it wasn't carved as a commission it is available. Its carved from cork with a cedar head, and a pine keel with brass hardware, painted in traditions acrylics. The tail is my usual soda bottle with craft foam. I'd like $150 for it...

I was asked to share a pattern via PM, I figured I would share it with everyone. I'd love to see what anyone who uses it comes up with. Enjoy, Bill

Seems like a lot of members took advantage of the cold this weekend and had amazing hunts. My group did as well, and I decided to hunt a few Duckboats forum members decoys. My brother and I both shot this bird, luckily it didn't get ruined, a first for both of us. We knew he was in the area and...

I'm sure most of you are too busy hunting to carve too much...I'm mostly on Dad duty these days when I'm not at work so I'm limited hunting about once a week. Luckily, she is a good napper, and I push myself to make the most of her "down time". Here are a couple currently on my workbench, both...
