Swan decoy by Paul Gibson, Have de Grace, Maryland. Paul's decoys were handmade until he bought Madison Mitchell's lathe. Gibson's sturdy decoys have chunky features and heads of white pine. He carved in the Havre de Grace style, but made the bodies and tails of his birds thicker than usual and gave them shorter necks. Gibson could carve any species, but was locally famous for his swans. Though he did not carve in quantity, Paul earned the reputation of quality decoy maker among the carers of the Susquehanna Flats.
