This is a Big Sky Carvers Canvasback Drake Decorative Decoy. It was finished by Grace Blake but not dated or numbered. It does have her signature, her writing below her signature of “Canvasback, ” and the Big Sky Carvers branded logo. It is kind of a beast, somewhat reminding us of the oversized Canvasbacks done by Tom Taber. The branded logo says Manhattan, MT, so the Decoy was made sometime after they moved from Boseman, MT, in the early 90’s. It is larger than life-size, being almost 17 inches from beak to tail. It is 8.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide, and weighs in at nearly 4 pounds. We have loved Big Sky Carvers Decoys from the mid 80’s. We have preferred the earlier ones but this one is very well done and we would not have been surprised to find a date from the 80’s. The photos show the typical finish of paints and transparent stains that enhance the natural beauty of the bird. Anyway, it is in great condition and a worthy gift for anyone who appreciates one of the most beautiful of waterfowl…. Or a well done decorative decoy. At the listed price.
