Traditional Humpback Whale Weathervane
Click here for pricing
The Humpback Whale weathervane (Megaptera
novaeangliae) weather vane featured in this image consists of an all copper
Humpback Whale. Because our vanes are made to order, the choice of metals can be
modified at the time an order is placed.
The Humpback Whale's eyes are made from handcrafted glass eyes with black
pupils. People who order this weather vane get to choose the eye color they want
for their weather vane.
This is one of Ken and my favorite designs because it was
our very first one. We were so proud on the day we finished making our first
weather vane in the spring of 1988. In fact, we kept that weather vane and have
it to this day. It is one weathervane with which we will never part. When we
stop and take a minute to look at it and see the thick wavy solder lines and
not-so-subtle shaping techniques we used to make it, we can see how far we come
since that proud day! And the nice thing is, we are as excited to be making
weather vanes today as we were the day we first started.
Below are two photos one of our customers graciously sent
us of their Humpback Whale weather vane. |

Vane is a wonderful addition to our landscape. Thanks so much for taking
wonderful care with us and our whale".
