Enhancing your decoy’s colour
Over the past few years Bruce Malcolm has become a great friend and valuable decoy teacher and historian. He directed me to his formula for safely enhancing the true colours of your decoy’s paint, especially when they look dried out. He had me use a blend of 20% linseed oil of a good quality from an art store and 80% turpentine (I used Turpenoid oderless, which is a turpentine substitute). I painted on this mixture and then clothed off any excess. The depth of colour on the decoys treated was markedly different, stronger and richer. The 20% factor I believe is the key, allowing the thinner blend of linseed to better penetrate the dried paint surface. I would experiment on a decoy that has a faded paint surface and I don’t believe every decoy is a candidate for this process! The decoy partially visible above my Davern can pictured…

New Brunswick black duck
Bought at a local on line auction as a brant, with no description, one poor photo and no opportunity for preview. Once home, it seems much too small for a brant (14”) and on clean up it displays blue green speculum stripes on either side, so maybe meant as a black duck. Clearly a NB bird, with the two piece (in this case three piece) head. Labelled as being from Miscou Island off the NE coast of NB.
Asking $95. Shipping extra at cost.
