Ross
Smoker's interest in carving grew from watching
his father (Richard B.) and brother (Rich W,) wood carve. He is
a
native of Selinsgrove, PA, and an avid outdoorsman. Ross' first
carving was a bluegill done in his father's shop. He then
started making hunting decoys for himself and rigs for others. His
hobby soon grew to include all types of waterfowl carving, from
gunning decoys to antique decoys and also decorative decoys. Today
Ross' work can be seen in competitive shows all over the country.
He has shown his work from Chincoteague, VA to Sacramento, CA and
from Ocean City, MD to shows around the Selinsgrove area. He has
wonmany ribbons. Ross has taught classes for the Ward Museum, the
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, Susquehannock Woodcarver and now
Windward Studios. He is a fun and talented teacher with a terrific
sense of humor. |
