Big Sky Carvers is America's leading creator of hand carved wooden waterfowl, wooden birds, bears, and other wildlife. With a huge collection of carvings including a variety of wooden ducks, wooden geese, owls, and bears, you are sure to find that perfect accent piece from Big Sky Carvers for your home.
It takes years to perfect the craft of decoy carving, so each of Big Sky's artists is understandably concerned that, before finishing a piece, each decoy is a carving he’ll be proud to call his own. Preserved forever in timbers sawed from massive west-coast Sugar Pine, these exceptional art works retain the warm glow given them by the hands of their creators. From the intricate wing overlays to the folk art finishes, our process has been refined over two decades. We’re proud to keep the tradition alive.
Each original sculpture at Big Sky Carvers is painstakingly handcrafted by its creator in clay or wax, at which time our mold makers take over and create a master casting from a mold. During this process, the original clay or wax sculpture is damaged and lost to the mold-making process. The master mold and subsequent castings are then made to complete the edition. The master is then destroyed and the edition is closed.
By using a special process we are able to capture the life and realism of the subject. Each piece is composed of proprietary blends of fine resins with the addition of pure pewter in some designs. When removed from the molds, the result is a stunning and exact duplicate of the original. The beautiful finish is the result of hand-applied patinas and carefully matched to define all of the subtle detail of the artwork.
