John grew up hunting and making decoys with his brother, Bob. He carved decoys for several of the area clubs including the Princess Anne Club. His decoys are rare and do not come to market often. This example is unique as it was carved from all juniper and not cypress like most.

Old gunning paint, some natural imperfections in the wood.
