Canadian Goose Weathervanes, Alternate Designs
This Flying Canada Goose Weathervane is a double sided weathervane design, which means it looks the same when viewed from either side. The thumbnail image (above left) takes you to more information and photos of the Canada Sentinel Goose Weathervane. The thumbnail (above right) takes you to more information and photos of the Running Goose weather vane. We also offer many bird designs. Click here to see our selections.
The photo in the center shows one option for gold leafing this weathervane. On this particular Canada Goose, we gilded the bird’s head, neck, legs and tail feathers. These sections will stay a light golden color as the copper sections patina first a deep chocolate brown color and then eventually green. The two drawings show alternative gilding options. I have added some color to give you a feel for how the two vanes would look when completed.
Note the “T” Brace between the bird’s wings (above right, bottom thumbnail). We put this there to strengthen the sculpture piece. Most of our birds with big wings shown in the upbeat position, will have similar bracing between the wings.
The first drawing shows the Flying Canada Goose with some palladium and gold leafed accents (alternative 1). If you’d like to see an example of actual palladium on a weathervane, here is a link to a Unicorn we did several years ago for another customer: Palladium Unicorn. As another example, The Bull in this photo shows palladium horns and directional letters in relationship to copper.
The second drawing shows the Flying Canada Goose with a copper goose with gold leafed accents (alternative 2). As the copper patinas, it will turn a dark chocolate brown color (almost black) and will very closely approximate the appearance of a real Canada Goose. If you’d like to see examples of weathered copper with gold leaf, please click here and look at the two photos of the Phoenix weathervane. This version has a lot more gold on it so would be the most expensive option.
Many refer to the Canada Goose as a Canadian Goose, both terms are generally accepted.
