As a young man, he was a market gunner, a cranberry farmer, and a field guide. In 1900, he was hired as manager of a hunting camp at Wenham Lake, near Boston, where he made and sold decoys and decorative carvings. After 1912, he started to carve full-time from his home in East Harwich. Crowell\u2019s best decoys show his exceptional skill as a carver and painter. He regularly used white pine and constructed the decoys with solid bodies. After shorebird market gunning was outlawed, he turned his talents to making decorative bird carvings. Crowell\u2019s decoys fall into three general periods. The earliest exhibit the most detail carving; the second type was carved only in the outlining of the tail feathers; and the latest were plain and uncarved. Even the simplest forms, however, received exceptional painted patterning.Stacy C.
