bouy decoy templates

[lee kent]

I am interested in making some of the bouy decoys that Mark details in his post located in the carvers corner section. I am wondering if anyone who has made these type decoys has any templates for the silly boards? I am not an artist and cannot seem to get mine to look right. I hate to cheat off someone else's ability but I need help. I would be more than happy to purchase them, I am looking for coots and cans.

Thanks,
Lee

We have "sillywet" templates that you can download free on our website. www.sittingducks-ltd.com

I have made some bouy decoys over the years and love them. Bouy scoters are my favorite as they are easy to make and its hard to find better scoter decoys.

Have a great time with them!

Lee,
Here's an "original tracing" of our Mag. Can deke. I cut one of our birds up into pieces and traced it out for a carving pattern for our Flats Rig Cans a couple years ago ( www.scfwa.net ).
If you'd like, and your email in your profile is good, I'll send you a higher def/bigger version.
I can also do one of our Coot for you as well, unless you're thinking of the Scoter as a "Coot"...but...got that too.
Lou

I appreciate all the help! I enjoy this community so much and always appreciate the advise/help. It is just difficult to be so artistically challenged when surrounded by you folks!
