What better project for us than to create a wooden Runner duck for your garden. This duck is great to put in any garden or yard.
 Here's what you'll need:
Print out the pattern from our web site at www.runnerduck.com/wooden_duck_pattern.htm. Using carbon paper trace the pattern for the body and two wings onto your wood. Using a band saw, scroll saw or any saw that works for you, cut out the body and two wings. Drill a hole for your dowel or steel rod just behind the ducks foot. Glue the wings on each side of the body. Put the white paint on with a brush and a rag. It's better if the paint is a little watered down to use is like a stain. You still want to see the wood grain a little when you are done. This gives it more character and a feathery look. Paint the beak and feet with the yellow/orange paint. Paint the eye with black paint. Glue the dowel or rod into the hole and you're ready to put your RunnerDuck to work. A Tip: Apply ground contact preservative to the wood dowel to give your project a longer life. |
