How We Get Our Ducks In A Row.

We start with white cedar logs, which we haul ourselves from the North Woods. Our son Jason is the first Bundy to work these logs. He de-barks each log – removing sand and grit to help keep bandsaw blades sharp longer. After 24 years his eye is well practiced at cutting and trimming block. He keeps a supply of block in the various sizes needed on hand at all times. The wood does need to dry well, so stages in the process are important, that way we always have dry wood to work with. Bandsaws, carvers, sanders, handwork, more sanding, more handwork, color room, more handwork, spraying finish, on and on. We choose the fanciest grain patterns for our Classic Line. Valarie colors each duck just as she pleases. The color is life to the piece! Logs with less Wow Factor we work up for our Country Line. We use a Back to Nature Approach with soft color shadings that reflect the live ducks’ own plumage colors.

Our customer’s praise of Bundy Carvings helps keep us moving forward to carve the next decoy. “Truly an awesome piece of artwork”, an email quote from a satisfied customer. “No one and I do mean NO ONE in the world can get a finish that even approaches yours”, Billy G., American Wood Finishing Institute.
