Bill Veasey has been a major contributor to the field of contemporary decoy carving, acting as a carver, teacher, and writer. He has personally published fourteen books on carving and painting, was instrumental in the design of the Detail Master Burner, helped create the Jo Sonjas line of carvers colors, and has instructed literally thousands of students. Many of Bill’s students have also gone on to become significant contributors to the field of decoy carving, both through the success of their own carvings, and by carrying on his tradition of teaching others and writing about the subject.
