Author(s):

Wiseman, Joe

Abstract:

Wood carvers along the waterways of eastern North Carolina have been using native birds as subjects for centuries, and today, interest in wildfowl carving is at an all time high. These skilled artisans produce works of great quality, but not great quantity, because of the time required in the creation of the finished product. Wiseman discusses the work of some of the carvers.

White, Franc

Abstract:

The craft was wood carving, the objects fashioned duck decoys. For John Sawyer, what started as a hobby grew into what the author called a second occupation. It was a necessary joint business-like venture; John, color blind, left the painting of the decoys to Clara. How it proved to be business like, more hobby than occupation, was proven in their devotion to detail.
