Styles are regional, california carvers back in the day started using what was around them and made decoys out of palm fronds. It's still relatively popular in competitions and a lot of folks still messing around with them. I just did it to do something different. My idea behind the turkey one was to eventually ad a real jake fan to it, which I have just havent done yet. It obviously worked as is. Just cool to kill something over something you made.
The canvasback palm frond I think turned out great, it has a self righting keel, made to hunt with.
