The canvasback duck decoy is a handcrafted wooden model replicating the sleek profile of the canvasback duck, known for its sloping forehead and long, graceful neck. Often painted with a white body, black chest, and reddish-brown head, these decoys were historically used by hunters across North America. A fun fact: antique canvasback decoys, especially those made by renowned carvers, are highly collectible today.
