Making Wire Frame Canvas Decoys

	Straighten the wire out and transfer it to the fencing wire and cut your piece. Using mostly your thumbs, bend the wire to shape with attention to symmetry being the key, and remember it should look like a goose!
Instead of tacking the wire to the profile as some do, I insert it in a groove I cut in the profile just deep enough to hold it. A knife or rat-tail rasp make quick work fo this.
	With the wire bent to shape, place it in the groove and line it up with the holes along the sides. With a marker, scribe the location of the holes on the wire.
Bend the wire at the mark (a little practice and you'll know where to do what) to about a 90 degree angle. The finished frame looks a little like a bail for a mop bucket.
	Fit the wire in place and hammer home to lock it in.
The wire in place should look a little like this. A little fiddling is usually required. Sometimes pusing down on the top of the frame is all it needs to get that tight fit.
	Traditional Option Birds with wire tails
When you are finished wiring it should look a little like this. I add breast and tail wires that most leave out, just a choice.
