"Tom's Legacy: Dogs, Decoys and Ducks". We all own that one dog which cannot be replaced. We are each fortunate to have been through those moments. Though laying that friend to rest is the hardest part. Each panel notes the progressive days we have as dog owners. Tom’s ability to work dogs, decoys, and ducks exemplify these times through amazing up’s, and soul-searching down’s. As a decoy maker, Tom includes the ashes of our most important dogs in his decoy carving art, including his own best companion; allowing legendary dogs to continue to hunt with both their owners and canine partners." Claro walnut decorative duck call with the hidden duck profile.
