Our Story
Down Point Decoys sits along the quiet stretch of Irvin S. Garrish Highway where the road meets the sound. We're a small, hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of waterfowl decoy carving — a tradition passed down through generations of Outer Banks hunters and craftspeople.
Every piece that leaves our shop is carved from sustainable materials, painted by hand with attention to species-accurate detail, and built to endure — whether it's sitting in a marsh blind or on a mantelpiece. We welcome collectors, hunters, and anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship.

The Craft
The process is unhurried. Each decoy moves through our hands slowly — carved, shaped, sanded, painted, and sealed with the same patience the coast demands.
We choose seasoned, sustainable blanks — cedar, basswood, or pine — each chosen for grain and weight.
Hand tools shape every curve. No molds, no shortcuts — just blade, wood, and years of practiced instinct.
Species-accurate plumage, eye by eye, feather by feather. We reference field guides and decades of observation.
A final coat of marine-grade sealant protects the finish. Each piece is inspected, signed, and ready for its new home.
