Antiqued' Ice Fishing Decoys
Ice fishing decoys created from recycled wood, such as pallet wood, old 2 X 4's basically any wood that can be repurposed. The fins are created from old tin cans, metal siding, roof flashing, you just never know. They range in size from just over one inch on up to your heart's desire. Most are in the 3-to-12-inch size. The smaller ones are used as Christmas Tree decorations. They all receive multiply coats of exterior paint and a clear exterior topcoat. They are bright! But I can make them any color or finish you desire. As I am getting older now… (More Mature) is a nicer way to say it I am concentrating on the decoys more and more as they are less physical to create. Age is catching up, I guess. I can't do large projects any longer. I have been on this site since it first started in 1999, I believe. A cabinetmaker in Maine started it. But now it is time to realize my limits. I hope you enjoy the fish decoys. Let me know! They are fun and a delight to the eyes.

Creative Rocking Dragons; suitable for adult enjoyment are offered. They range in size from 4 feet tall to the tip of the antler to over 8 feet tall at the tip of the antler. Custom sizes are also created and they seem to take on a life of their own as they are created.
I will be also adding a line of antique reproduction fishing lures and fishing decoys. All handmade with recycled wood and metal. The wood can be pine, cypress, oak. Even old tree branches are used and turned on the lathe. I use pallet wood and you will even find some old nail holes in some of the lures and decoys adding to their charm. The fins are metal and start life as tin cans, metal studs, roof flashing, tin pie plates. You never know.
The fish and decoys range in size from 1 inch up to 12 inches or more. They receive multiple coats of exterior paint and a clear coat. Colors range to all colors and combinations. If you wish a certain size or color just let me know and I will start work on your 'Fishie'.
All of these items will be posted shortly. I will always be adding new art pieces. Imagine it, I can create it.
