These carvings are from cattle bones. Otis would have a friend of his that worked at the

slaughter house save bone for him, but he made very few items from it. These are dyed

carvings. There are a few fish decoys made from bone out there as well. If you have a nice

example of a bone fish decoy, please send us a picture so we can add it to the gallery.
