Nothing fancy just rounding edges and adding some v cuts. Then decide on a color for paint.

Looking good! Red sock body with green heels and maybe white or gold top rim would be my opinion

Do you first use a coping saw or other type of saw to cut the large portions of unneeded wood from your block?

Iβve been on the scroll saw quite a bit lately cutting out ornaments, I need to get a 1/8 blade for my bandsaw, itβs sure a lot quicker. Iβve made 6 more Grinch ornaments and a crescent moon shaped Santa one. Iβll post some pics when I get him painted.

Amazing what happens when a patient person is given a sharp knife. And talent helps too.

Thanks for your comments. I have been carving decoys, both full size and mini since 1986. Never really tried to sell them. We have quite a "flock" around the house now. On the full size, I still use my Grandpa's RT Brand draw knife that is over 100 years old. Wow, what an edge you can put on that one.
What kind of wood do you use for the ducks?
