Big Sky Carvers Canvasback Drake Decorative Decoy-Man Cave, Cabin, lodge, Den
This is a Big Sky Carvers Canvasback Drake Decorative Decoy. It was painted by artist, Chris Lynn, ands her signature on the underneath along with the Big Sky Carvers Logo Brand. It is not dated but the Company relocated to Manhattan, MT, from Boseman, MT, in 1987 so it must have been made after that time. The decoy is life size and in wonderful condition. It does have a small dent on its left side and some tiny marks on the left side of its head. Both have to be in the right light to be visible. It is like size measuring 15 inches from beak to tail. It is 7.5 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide. It weighs 2 pounds 7 ounces. Big Sky Carvers began in Boseman, Montana, in the early 80’s. They are known for making high quality decorative decoys. The employed local artists to finish their decoys and many of their artists were very talented, as this one shows. Their decoys add to about any collection. We love seeing Canvasbacks in the wild and recommend this one as a great gift for any sportsman who has an appreciate for this stunning bird. That is what we are asking and that is a very good price as they really have increased in value. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”.

Big Sky Carvers Common Loon Decoy-Man Cave, Cabin, Lodge, or Den
This is a Common Loon made by Big Sky Carvers of Bozeman, Mt. It is signed on the bottom by its artist, Parke Goodman, and has the Big Sky Carvers Brand on the underneath. There is no date on the Loon but Big Sky Carvers moved their Company from Boseman to Manhattan, Mt, in 1987 so it must have been made prior to that date. The Loon Decoy is close to life size, maybe a bit smaller. It measures 16.5 inches from beak to tail. It is 5.25 inches wide and 6 inches tall. It weighs nearly 2 pounds. This Loon is typical of Big Sky Carvers Decoys in that it is made of pine, hand painted by a very talented artist, and makes a very handsome bird look so good. The paints and finishes they used allow the wood grain to show which adds to their beauty. The Company may still be in business but after an early focus on decorative decoys, they expanded to carvings of bears and other animals, furniture, and other items. If they are still making decoys, they most likely are made in Asia. In my view, the early decoys made in the 1980’s are high quality treasures done by outstanding artists from the local community. Please study the photos and see what you think. It is nearly perfect. We could find one very tiny dent and a couple of white spots on its back where the resin in the pine may have bled through the paint. If you, or a friend have a cabin by a lake that has loons calling, you need this guy to join in the fun. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Loons”.

Big Sky Carvers Master’s Edition Mallard Drake-Man Cave, Cabin, Lodge, or Den
This is a large Master’s Edition Mallard Drake made by Big Sky Carvers of Manhattan, Mt. The Drake is resting on what appears to be a driftwood limb. On the underneath of the limb, there is a medallion that says, Master’s Edition, Big Sky Carvers, Manhattan, Mt. The medallion is numbered 302 of 1250 but we could not find a signature of an artist or a date. The decoy is well done, if fact we wondered if it might be resin so we drilled a tiny hole and the actual decoy is carved from solid pine. The base is made of resin and the decoy carved separately but solidly attached. The Duck is a bit larger than life, measuring 16 inches from its chest to its tail. The carving weighs about 6.5 pounds. We searched for another decoy similar to this one with no success, so it is a bit of a mystery to us. It is well done and quite attractive. We would think a master carver would have signed it though… Anyway pricing is a guess and we invite your offer and any information you may have regarding it. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Animals\Birds\Ducks”. The seller is “435jamesp” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

This is a Big Sky Carvers Hindley Collection Mallard Drake Decorative Decoy. It is dated 8/30/04 but not signed by an artist nor is it numbered. Chris Hindley is a well known, creative carver, whose work tends to be a stylistic, sort of make believe representation. If you are not familiar with him be sure to do a google search and enjoy the images of his work. This decoy is a drake green head that appears to be resting on his breast, getting ready to preen his tail. It is close to life size, measuring 10 inches at its widest length. It weighs 2 pounds, 10 ounces. We have had a few Hindley Carvings, particularly his pheasants. One of my Hindley favorites was a Pintail Drake which one of our kids swiped from me.
