We make lots of these little guys. What started out as a way of utilizing small pieces of select pine turned out to be an instant hit with visitors to our shop...so much so that we thought we ought to add them to our online gallery. Now we're not sure that that was such a good idea as we have difficulty keeping them in stock...especially these little Puffins. . These little songbirds are hand carved, and the glass-smooth facets left by the knife blade impart an instantly recognizable handmade look. They are also painted simply, though we use the same paints as on our fully realistic songbirds. Offered two ways...standing or hanging... count on these little guys to add a dash of color to your home or office throughout the year. ... |

Here's a group shot of our littlest songbirds. From left to right there's a Cardinal, Chickadee, Goldfinch, Bluejay, and a Grosbeak. As you can see, they are all about the same size. The Cardinal measures just under 4" tall from the underside of his base to the top of his crest. Now let's take a closer look at them individually.... |

Northern Cardinal The bright red male has been named the "State Bird" of seven states. You'll notice that the standing birds are mounted on a brass pin and that the hanging one is fitted with an all but invisible monofilament loop.@US$20 |
