CANOE WEATHERVANE

Canoe Weather Vane Canoe Paddler

by West Coast Weather Vanes

 

 

Canoe Weathervane, Paddling Canoe

Paddling Canoe Weathervane

 

Our Canoe weathervane is a great design for a weekend cabin by the lake or for the canoeing enthusiast. While the canoer featured in this photo is a man, we can also make this weathervane with a female canoeist or even a family!  In this particular weathervane, we added optional gold leaf to the canoer’s face and arms and as a trim line around the canoe’s rim.

 

This particular weathervane provides me with an opportunity to discuss the difference the actual design makes in the overall presence of the sculpture piece. The canoe and paddler weathervane is a very slender and slight design, even in the three-foot size. Now imagine it next to a three-foot elephant weathervane. Both are “large” sized weathervanes, but the elephant weathervane has a much bigger presence than the canoer does, simply by the nature of the design itself.

Sizing a weathervane

The design makes a difference when selecting the correct sized weathervane for your site

Please click on the thumbnails above to view larger image.

 

When sizing a weathervane for your particular site, it is important to keep in mind the actual design you intend to install. While a two-foot elephant weathervane might be perfectly adequate for the top of a two car garage, if your design preference was the Canoe weathervane, you might want to go with the next larger size, even though it would be going atop the exact same location.

 

We are always happy to make suggestions or be of assistance if you are questions regarding the appropriate sized weathervane for a given location. Just give us a call or drop us and email and give us a few specifics and we will be glad to guide you through the process.
