Shorebirds

Shown are styles I repeatedly do.
Each is carved and finished one at a time - by hand. None is machine produced.
Therefore, there may be slight variations from the pictures.
All Shorebirds are on metal or wood stands, your choice.
All Stickbirds are on wooden stands. Museum type black metal stands
are available for a additional charge.

All shipping charges reflect shipping within the continental United States.
For shipping elsewhere, I will email you with any additional cost.
Multiple orders could result in a lower total shipping cost
