Steve,
Many years ago I had a Black duck decoy by them. Pretty nice bird. Still had the white ink stamp on the bottom. Not too sure about the company, but it was in Erie, Pa. Jim
A trick I learned from a Santa Claus carver is to mist your pine or other tough wood with a mix of alochol and water. 50/50 mix. Makes the wood cut like butter. Breaks the surface tension. Some even keep it wet through the carving process in a ziplock bag. I've used it on tupelo on bill area...
