The "King" of diving ducks, the majestic can is a large diver with a
distinctive wedge shaped head. These birds are not deceptive at all,
when they want in your decoys they bore full speed making sweeping turns
as they approach. Each of these decoy heads is hand carved from a very
light kiln-dried basswood. Linseed oil is applied as a preservative
followed by oil paints hand brushed with color blending and feather
effects. The linseed oil draws the paint deep into the wood fibers
enhancing durability and resulting in a realistic "feather sheen". The
result is both beautiful and functional.
Decoy heads with TL designation are sized for a minimum of a 15-16 decoy they work well for magnum sized 18" decoys such as size 81 Herter's, or Coastal Restle sized decoys
Canvasback heads are only offered in the standard pose. Magnum (Herters 72) size is based on 16-18" body length.
Attaching the heads are easy, we include instructions with each purchase. We like to attach our heads with a 1/4" X 20 T-nut.
The machine thread matches factory eye bolts as supplied by decoy
companies such as Herters and Restle. (T-nut not included)
Our threaded inserts make it easy to attached these replacement decoy
heads to various decoy bodies. Outside is course thread, inside is a
1/4-20" thread to
accept a standard 1/4" eye bolt. Please click here to purchase threaded inserts.
