We look forward to seeing even more carvers and their work next winter. The 2019 Annual Show will feature Atlantic Brant – the history, biology and gunning of this graceful Arctic goose. In addition to many antique decoys, we will also feature contemporary Brant stool. So, if you carve Brant, please plan to join us.
All the best,
Steve Sanford
