New England Home Décor Hand Carved Red -Winged Blackbird Carving Maine USA
CROW TRACKS Wood Carvings. I carved this male Red Winged Blackbird and dated it February 10, 2023. I have been carving in this town since 1983 and have a gallery called CROW TRACKS where I sell my work during the tourist season. Please take some time to visit my gallery when you are vacationing on the Maine coast. I carve and sell many different carvings and I do some paintings. Chances are good the next one listed will not have the same look. The height of the carving is about 5 1/4 inches and is about 6 1/2 inches from the end of the bill to the end of the tail. It is smaller than life size but it will fit well in a home or office. This piece I carved from White Pine and painted with acrylics. Instead of glass eyes I carve or paint the eyes and always try to give each of my pieces character through facial expression. The whole bird including the primary and secondary wing feathers and tail feathers are textured with a wood-burning pen that simulates the fine lines of feather barbs. My carvings also feature a burnt-in signature. On this piece the signature and date are burnt into the underside of the driftwood base. The base is made from natural cut wood that the beavers chewed. If you are looking for a great Red Winged Blackbird carving for your collection, or if you are looking for a unique gift for a family member or friend who just loves these sweet singing birds of the marsh consider this piece. It is a quality piece handmade with Maine craftsmanship. All copyrights reserved by the artist. All packing materials are recycled materials if possible.
