Item Description
This black duck decoy was created by waterfowler Fred Reitmeyer Jr. of Pomona, NJ. Using the tools and techniques he learned from his grandfather, legendary boat builder Carl Adams, he has been carving since the age of 12. Fred Reitmeyer carves classic Barnegat Bay decoys, but instead of gouging out his hollow decoys, he uses a resources efficient three piece technique developed by his grandfather.
A regular demonstrator at the Tuckerton Seaport, Fred Reitmeyer teaches youth carving classes, and is an instructor in the Jersey shore Folklife Center's Jersey Traditions curriculum. Fred Reitmeyer represented New Jersey decoy carving traditions at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 2004, and was one of six carvers in New Jersey to be invited to participate in the 2004 Mid-Atlantic Decoy Competition.
