There are various carving books available for the mini decoys, which is what these are. I use a pattern book by Anthony Hillman on carving miniature duck decoys. This goose however is not in Hillmans book, but is a full size pattern that I reduced.

Thanks Floyd! Painting isn't my favorite part of the process but it does add a little more detail to things.

Hopefully the flag won't trigger anyone. I was recently denied entry to a contest with this because or "Racist associations of the flag." In Canada!!!!
