CROW TRACKS Wood Carvings. I carved this Cedar Waxwing and dated it July 6, 2025. 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 market more online this year. I always have a Cedar Waxwing carved and ready for sale in my shop. Chances are good the next one listed will not have the same look. The height of the carving is about 5 1/2 inches and is about 7 inches from the end of the bill to the end of the tail. It is a full-size and 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 carvings 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. If you’re looking for a happy little Cedar Waxwing carving for your collection, or if you are looking for a special gift for your favorite birder 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.
