In this picture:Marty Hanson's collection of antique and rare decoys GENERAL INFORMATION: I'm doing a feature story on Marty Hanson, one of Minnesota's preeminent carver of duck decoys. His decoys sell for thousands of dollars. Hanson also recently made a series of unusual duck decoys that will be used as molds to make high-end plastic decoys. He just returned from China, where he taught workers how to properly paint those decoys. Hanson's profile will be a preview of the 2007 Minnesota Decoy Show, which opens in Bloomington on Jan. 31 and draws collectors from around the nation. // wood carving, woodcarving // ORG XMIT: MIN2014012811440044 (The Minnesota Star Tribune)
