Carved Black Crow Bird by Jim Slack / Black Crow Hand Carved and Painted by Jim Slack / Jim Slack Black Crow
Entirely hand crafted from carving to painting buying and finishing with wax polish. This Crow is hand carved by renowned decoy carver Jim Slack. Jim has been carving and hand painting decoys for over 40 years out of Pekin, Illinois. While crows in folklore and fiction are often associated with trickery and death (a group of crows is, after all, called a "murder"), research shows that they are intelligent and family-oriented birds. Crows and ravens are some of the smartest animals in the world with their intelligence considered on part with chimpanzees! Crows are also very social and family-oriented and are known to roost in numbers ranging from hundreds to two million in the winter. This Crow measures approximately 10 inches tall and 13 inches wide from tip of tail to beak. This bird is mint without any handling marks, has glass eyes and is mounted on a wooden base. Jim Slack has signed the bottom of his artwork. Please ask questions before purchase. Please see photos for all questions of condition.
Jim Slack was born in 1941 in Pekin Illinois. Jim's name is normally signed on the bottom of the decoys. Jim has been carving close to 40 years. Jim primarily carves duck and shorebird decoys but does do a line of fish decoys as well.
