Woodcrafter Wood Carving Pintail Duck

The Pintail duck has two long tail feathers that is unique to its species.  It is plentiful in the United States, Europe and Asia.  The female builds its nest on the ground and lays 7 to 9 eggs.  The pintail feeds on roots, grain and other seeds.       The hand carved pintail includes the long and beautiful tail.  The artist has burned the feathers into the carving.  A plain varnish gives the woodcarving a protective covering.  The varnish also gives the carving a dull sheen that leads itself to the natural beauty.

This carving is 10 inches long, 4 inches high and 3 inches wide. 

  I gained my respect and love of nature growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. We lived near a small lake where I would observe ducks that would built nests and raise their family during the summer months. When I was in the Navy, I had the opportunity to travel to other countries and observe the different cultures. African artists really piqued my interest in wood carving, so when I returned home I ended up taking a wood carving class. It started out as a little hobby and grew into a true love of wood carving. Most of my wood carvings are of waterfowl, I appreciate the graceful curve of the neck on swans and the contented look in the eyes of the smaller ducks. I do all of my work by hand and on some of the ducks I have wood burned feather patterns for that realistic look. Each one of my wood carvings are unique, autographed and numbered on the bottom. Give someone you care about a one of a kind piece of art, I'm sure they will enjoy it as much as I have loved carving them.
