Bill Gibian Decoys
ORIGINAL, HAND-CARVED WILDFOWL
IN THE OLD TRADITION
 
Time permitting, Bill does superlative paint refinishing and structural repairs on distressed carvings, as you can see in the accompanying photos of a restored Charles Schoenheider Sr. Mallard drake.
Charles Schoenheider Sr. Mallard drake before restoration: Neck crack, significant paint loss, partially re-painted, weight not original to maker, alligator paint surface in areas. 
Charles Schoenheider Sr. Mallard drake after restoration: successfully reflecting the original maker's aesthetic intent.
