Series Two of the 2-volume set features 12 additional species of duck patterns. Both volumes include both hen and drakes, and more than 60 color reference photos of the ducks in their natural habitat. These are upgraded editions of Burk's previously published Decorative Decoy Designs #1, 2 - now out of print. Advances in computer scanning mean the colors are tremendously improved in this edition. Plus, the bindings much sturdier and easier to use.The Second Book in the Series to Help You Learn the Secrets of Creating Realistic Duck DecoysDuck carvers can improve the quality of their work thanks to the guidance of noted artist, Bruce Burk, in this updated portfolio of detailed color patterns and finishing tips and techniques.
