Statement:    John is self taught bird carver/sculptor who works in a variety of woods. Whilst living in the USA for four years he encountered the art of Decoy Carving whose origins lie in wildfowling. From this art form he has developed his style to embrace a wide spectrum of bird life. He has successfully competed in National Competitions, being awarded Gold , Silver, and Bronze by the British Decoy Wildfowl Carvers Association and has been featured in The Guild of Master Carvers publication "WoodCarving" having been given a special award in their annual competition. The birds are carved from a variety of woods including tupola, jeuletong, lime, ash, pine etc. Acrylic paints are used to show the vivid and subtle colours of our wild birds.
