Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic hand-carved wooden duck decoy depicting a Barrow’s Goldeneye Drake. This exceptional piece of American folk art was crafted in 1998 by acclaimed Master Carver Thomas Chandler at his personal “Waterfowl in Wood” studio in Bozeman, Montana. Chandler is highly regarded for his premier wildlife art and his history as a master carver for Big Sky Carvers. The decoy features a beautifully sculpted head and body with realistic glass eyes and intricate, dry-brushed hand-painted feather detailing across the back and wings. Excellent structural condition with no chips, cracks, or splits in the wood. The delicate bill and tail point are completely intact. The original paint shows a beautiful, natural aged patina with some light yellowish-brown discoloration/staining on the white breast and lower body surfaces, which is very typical for the age and wood type of these carvings. Please review all photos carefully to view the condition from every angle. A wonderful, fully-signed collector’s piece for enthusiasts of Montana wildlife art and rustic home decor! Comes from a smoke free home. Carefully wrapped and packaged to ensure safe arrival at your door.
