Easton Waterfowl Festival
















The Easton Waterfowl Festival in November is the Super Bowl of Carving, Painting, or any art dealing with waterfowl. You can find decoys made by famous carvers like the Ward Brothers, Charlie Joiner and hundreds of others. The prices range from 50 dollars to 150,000 or more.










The Canada Goose if by Len Ward. The display of small birds perched on many object is very unique in that every item shown is carved from wood. Yes- the "metal pots" are carved from wood and painted- so is the steel trap and the pulley-everything is wood.










The one picture shows two carvers-one famous and the other a beginning amateur-a "wanna-be". The famous one is Captain Jobes.
