Download or read book Carving Fish Decoys written by James T. Cottle and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish decoys were originally used by Native and Early American ice fisherman to lure food fish within range of their spears. Carved and painted to mimic the appearance and behavior of prey for pike and muskies, the hand-crafted fish decoy has become enshrined in American culture as a treasured form of traditional folk-art. Although the practicality--and sanity--of ice-fishing with spears is up for debate, traditional fish-decoys have seen a recent surge in interest and have become highly sought-after both as collectables and to be used under the ice. If you're someone who appreciates traditional American folk art and you want to learn to carve your own fish decoys, then this is the book for you. Life-long fisherman and decoy-carving instructor James Cottle makes it fun and easy to get started with detailed instructions, contextual information, history lessons, and tips on tools and techniques. This book contains 22 traceable patterns for decoys including trout, perch, bass, suckers, walleye, pike, muskies, sunfish, and walleyes, plus a mouse and a frog. Every step of the process is described clearly, with instructions that will guide you through cutting, carving, weighting, painting, and adding fins and tail to your decoy. Then it's ready to use--on your mantle or under the ice. With full color photographs of finished decoys and tips for developing your own painting style, this is the definitive guide to making your own traditional fish decoys.

Book excerpt: Bird decoys were used for hunting in North America until the advent of hunting regulations in the early twentieth century, when decoys started to be prized and collected as masterpieces of American folk art. This handsome book is the first examination of the historic and unparalleled decoy collection at Shelburne Museum. Featuring new photography of 250 of the museum's most important and artistically carved decoys, it includes examples made by the most respected American carvers: Charles Osgood, Lem and Steve Ward, John Blair, Bill Bowman, Nathan Cobb, Jr., Lee Dudley, James Holly, Jr., Nathan Horner, Albert Laing, Joseph Lincoln, A. Elmer Crowell, and Charles Shang Wheeler. The story of the collection begins with Joel Barber, the pioneer decoy enthusiast and New York architect, artist, and carver, whose gift of 400 superior examples established the collection in 1952. Several essays provide groundbreaking scholarship on the origins, construction, and attribution of bird decoys, imparting critical advancements to our modern understanding of this revered tradition.00Exhibition: Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, USA (21.11.2015 - 19.06.2016).

Book excerpt: DUCKS & DECOYS: If it looks like a duck, and if it walks like a duck, and if it quacks like a duck ... then it's a duck! But if it doesn't walk or quack or fly, then it's probably a duck decoy. Whether used for hunting or just collecting, duck decoys have become increasingly viewed as an important form of North American folk art. Since the 1960s, numerous collectors' organizations have been created, specialist books and magazines published, with specialist dealers, and special interest shows around the US and Canada. Record prices have been paid for duck decoys. The current world record was set when two decoys (Canada goose and a preening pintail drake) were sold for $1.13 million each on September 19, 2007. The decoys were part of a private sale of 31 decoys for $7.5 million. Enjoy looking at the beautiful photos of ducks and decoys in this book. Enjoy collecting duck decoys, too.
