The marionette is carved out of bass wood (otherwise known as whitewood). I'm not a wood carver, but my late-uncle who was a well-known gunsmith and decoy maker always said that it was easy to carve because of its tight grain. What I marvel at is the fact that the Baird marionette is so well jointed that it has almost no extraneous movement and the knee and elbow sockets are practically invisible.
