OVERVIEW

More and more carving and wildlife shows are adding the

"Cocktail Class" to their competitions, therefore the cocktail

decoy is fast becoming a highly prized collectable. To be a

cocktail decoy, the duck must be no more than 3 1/2" long,

and must float in a 4 1/2" cocktail glass. The student will make

a "slick" version, or one without burned-in detail, with the

primary wing feathers inserted and the head partially carved

as a separate piece and 'posed'. Painting is done with a brush,

so be sure to bring along your best liner brushes and a

good pair of eyes.
