Duck Decoys

Clarence Trafka

1914-2003

Beaver Dam

All wooden Trafka decoys are made from 2” redwood stair treads that led up to the top of the old Beaver Dam water tower…..tuck that away for trivia night……thanks to John Fandrey for this interesting tidbit….! Clarence worked as a pattern maker for the Monarch Range Co until 1980. He moved to Pembine where he spent a lucrative retirement as an accomplished wood carver. His decoys are some of the most interesting of the folky Wisconsin decoys.
