Red-Winged Blackbird Original Wood Bird Carving Lifesize Vic Sencindiver c. This original lifesize wood bird carving by Paige Victor “Vic” Sencindiver features an ultra lifelike red-winged blackbird (agelaius phoeniceus) perched on top of what appears to be a piece of walnut (or similar wood, possibly driftwood) burl knot. I can’t say enough about how detailed and intricately carved this piece is… With that said, in doing research regarding the wood carver, I assumed the artist responsible had to be someone who spent their entire life honing their craft, but that was somewhat incorrect. Based on the limited information I could find online. Paige Victor “Vic” Sencindiver. (dec’d 2011 at 84). Was a highly accomplished lifelong medical professional (surgeon) who held impressive rank in the military and helped pioneer open heart surgery in the 1950s. And from what I understand he took up the hobby of wood carving later in life, was self taught and during his life lived in Beach Haven, New Jersey & Philadelphia. Please read complete details below. Thank you and enjoy! Measures approximately 8″ x 9″ x 10 overall. The bird figure portion of the sculpture measures approximately 2.5″ x 5″ x 9. Approximate weight is 1 LB 8 OZ. Condition: In very good condition with some dust in the finely carved details and wear such as abrasions around the edges of the base. The burl has some cracking but that might be original to the piece. No breaks or repairs that I can find. Please see photos for details. Signed on the underside of the base. Due to the variations in device screens and monitors, colors may vary slightly, therefore I cannot guarantee that what you see accurately portrays the colors of each item-please message with any questions regarding colors/etc.

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.
