Andy
Trombley
Andy Trombley was a fine carver from the Mt. Clemens area. The son-in-law of Hans Janner Sr., Trombley was a extraordinary woodcarver and an even better painter, often using a mesh hairnet in painting his decoys, to give the appearance of scales. He collaborated with other master carvers, as shown in the example below, which was carved by his father-in-law and painted by Trombley. Andy
