Brook Trout With Fins

North Carolina artist Chris Boone transforms traditional waterfowl decoys into one-of-a-kind wooden sculptures that celebrate the natural beauty of the materials he selects. Working with woods like cedar, pine, and hardwoods, Chris preserves natural elements such as bark, lichen, and knots to accentuate each handcarved piece. His distinctive style and attention to detail imbue every decoy with a unique, old-world charm that resonates with collectors and nature lovers alike.

Before beginning each sculpture, Chris personally selects each section of the tree, allowing the shape and form to emerge from the wood’s unique characteristics. A fine hand finish is applied to highlight the subtle grain patterns and enhance the natural colors, all while maintaining an antiqued style. This careful process ensures that each bird is both a tribute to the natural world and a timeless work of art.
