Display, Making of a Decoy - Step 2, John Sharon

Description

After a blank in the general shape of the bird is obtained by either carving or buying the blank, the artist works on giving the blank a more specific shape in relation to the subject. Special attention is given to the head and tail, as those are often the distinguishing features of the bird. Most of this step is setting in curved lines instead of the more straight lines and edges of the blank.
