Those look really good.  Always wanted to hunt over a bunch of hand carved deeks. 
What kind of foam?

Nice job! Are they hollowed out on the bottom? If they aren't weighted or hollowed out the stronger wind gusts will blow them over. I have some Herters that are hollowed out Styrofoam with a hard coat on the outsides they float nice and the slightest breeze moves them around good.

I actually have no idea what kind of foam :dunno: I found it at an architectural salvage place.

I've hollowed out a circle on the bottom to prevent exactly that  :) I've had lots of help from the wonderful people on a couple foam decoy forums or I never would have thought about the bottoms! They certainly move around with the slightest breeze!

Very cool!    :tup:
Keep at it and one day all these guys on the posts will pay top dollar for your brand of decoys at Cabelas.
