The Kent Hood Decoy Carvers Foundation is holding a unique decoy carving competition at the Core Sound Decoy Museum that will coincide with the Kent Hood Memorial Rig of Six Competition on June 20, 2015.
The purpose of this competition is to crown a carver as a superior craftsman by way of judging a “naked” (unpainted, no sealer, no filler) decoy. The judges will be looking for many things including but not limited to; Symmetry, Flowing Lines, Wood Choice, Tight Seams, Tight Neck to Body, etc. Bring your bench, your vice, your shaving horse, or whatever you have to hold that bird and shave some wood with us! You will also have the chance to enter or simply enjoy the Kent Hood Rig of Six Competition taking place at the same venue!
