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.
