The detail and artist work on this OOAK artist hand carved duck decoy is unmatched.
This is a Joe Jonas original miniature Blue Winged teal decoy. Made in 1995 and numbered 179.
Super light weight at only 2.1 Oz and 6 1/2” long and 2 1/2” high.
Joe Jonas is an accomplished artist having won competitions in 37 states. Each of his carvings are done with a variety of tools to include special saws and knives. He uses a hot knife to detail each and every feather. He has an exclusive list of buyers to include President Gerald Ford who was an avid supporter of sports hunting and fishing.
The artists story is very interesting as well as is indicated in the following link.

The first time I saw Joe’s display of decoys I thought they were taxidermy- that’s how amazing they are.
I included on my last photo a grouping of the Joe Jonas miniature decoys I will be listing in the near future
