This "butterball" is a bundle of energy in the air over marshes large
and small. They typically travel in small groups and seem to delight in
changing elevations at high speeds. 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.
Bufflehead decoy 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.
