From Starr Decoys:
I started Starr Decoys outside Middlebury in Weybridge, Vermont in 1987. My style evolved from my father's influence and reflects the clean lines of traditional hunting decoys.
I carved my first bird, a miniature black duck, with my father, Dr. George Ross Starr, Jr. M.D., in 1956 at nine years old. My father collected over 2,000 decoys in  Duxbury, Massachusetts where he wrote "Decoys of the Atlantic Flyway".
The
Gary Starr*Carved Bird Collection
was started in 1992 and now consists of more than 70 species. The approximately 5 to 6 inch hanging collection pieces are designed, carved out of Vermont basswood, and painted in my studio.
On the flat back, I identify, brand, date, and sign each piece. Each piece is made of Vermont basswood.
