These were too inexpensive not to buy, and I really liked them. They remind me of some Masons I used to have, which were swiped by my sister. The guy who had these insisted they are of CT origin. I'm sure I couldn't say but Rick, you may have a better handle on the subject.

A couple of years ago we stop in at a chainsaw carver's studio, the Mrs. falls in love with this turtle, so of course it comes home with us. We find a place for it in the back of our backyard. Soon thereafter a Pileated Woodpecker finds the turtle easy peckins by pecking away a sizable portion of the turtle's shell, tail and front left foot necessitating a concrete repair job. It now appears the Pileated Woodpeckers have left evidence that they're once again back at it . . . and in addition to that, are now raising a small brood of backups!

Love the woodpeckers! Two of my favorites...the first one is signed but I can't really make it out; looks like RD Lacrosse 1980. I know it's decorative and not a working decoy but I really like it...
...and the second is homemade at its best (or worst!). I don't know if this one ever saw the water or is somebody's folk art dream, but I love it and I've always kinda hoped somebody hacked this guy out, shot over it, and maybe even got a goose! Note the aluminum paint breast color...

I just did a bit more research; the signature is R.D. Lewis, who apparently is a carver of some renown known for his decoys, but best known for his carved wood animals for carousels! Kinda cool...

My father, Claire Baehman, created this pair of cork bodied magnum Mallards that were 37 years in the making, starting them in 1972 and finishing them out in 2009. He made four pair of of these magnums with intentions of bringing in the really "tall birds".
