This preening Wood Duck drake was handcarved and handpainted by World champion Canadian carver Jason Lucio. This is a studio decoy made of solid Tupelo wood and meticulously finished in extraordinararily fine detail and accuracy.

This is about as good as it gets when it comes to individual handmade decoys.

Superb lifelike colors, perfect form, including head and facial contours, muscle tone, dimensional depth and character expression.

This decoy is in pristine condition, with raised AND lowered primaries and glass eyes. Artist signed in 1993.

This decoy has won several Best of Show titles and has great provenance having been featured in numerous publications including the book "Decoys, A Celebration of Contemporary Wildfowl Carving", featuring the works of North America's best decoy carvers. It was published by Camden House in 1994. It was also in the popular "Decoys" calendar issued by the same publisher.
