Vintage Common Loon Hand Carved Decorative Decoy by Danny Lee Heuer Original

Description

Vintage Original Decorative Cedar Hand Carved Common American Loon by Danny Lee Heuer.
Original carving by my father, Danny Lee Heuer of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan in original paint condition, 1983.
Once completed and while visiting with Dad, I asked him to resign the decoy and he did so in 1985.
My father passed three years ago at 96 years, & he was a master carver of working duck decoys, & many other carvings.
Approximate size is, 22 1/2" long, by 8 3/4" High and 7 1/2 " Wide, a large size carving.
My father met Wayne Gretzky at his house as he had a sign out in front that said Decoys for sale.
According to the story my father told me, Wayne had seen this carving when it was about a half completed.
He told Dad to let him know when it was finished and he would take another look at it.
I think during that time he was in the Sault Ste Marie, Michigan area on a hockey tour or something like that.
My Dad told him it would be 00 dollars once completed, and he wrote that on the bottom of the decoy.
He spelled Wayne's name wrong, but for him, close enough I guess.
Not sure why Mr. Gretzky never returned or followed up on the carving, but this is a true story.
This decorative Loon carving joined my fathers "Shelf Decoy's",  and then became a
permanent
resident.
He really never made any other effort to sell this Common American Loon Carving, I really think he enjoyed it too much.
He feather burned all the outlined feathers in this carving, and the pictures do not really do them justice.
