Spec decoy urn

[Lloyd Heins]

It appears a woman on FB has lost her Dad and is looking for someone to carve a decoy urn of a spec so she can hunt with him. She has reached out to the PFDA for assistance. While I know guys do them for their dogs, this is the first I've heard of this type of request. (I think its kinda cool) Has anyone ever done this before? Is there anyone interested commissioning this decoy that would like me to pass on their contact info?

I have made them for humans and the last one I did we Lasered a photo of the person on the bottom

I've done urns for people. There are a few contingencies if you are shipping the remains. The proper way is to have the consumer add the remains after construction. Feel free to forward my info to your friend.

What is the approximate cost to have an urn decoy made? For pet? For human remains?

Thanks!

I would say $250 and up depending on how fancy or detailed you want to get

Hey, goober, the pics come up once you click on them. Nice hen!

Am i assuming that the plug toward the tail was added after ashes were placed in?
Ones i have messed with were usually done prior to putting the deke together, however only a small canful was glued toward center, so keeling for fowling use would be simpler. Filling for a gunning decoy would make the urn rather heavy.

Thanks George yes I know they pop up but trying to get them in th body of the text but hitting inline doesn't work. All of Kaye is in this one but she is hanging out the game room not the water
