The Rabbit
Weather Vane above is handcrafted entirely from
copper. Parts of the weathervane may be made from brass or
gold leafed to provide a contrast to the all copper rabbit
weathervane. The unique tooling marks
provide a realistic texture effect to mimic its fur. A
glass eye enhances the realism while adding additional color and
sparkle.
Rabbits are small mammals
in the family
Leporidae
of the order
Lagomorpha,
found in several parts of the world. There are
seven different genera in the family classified
as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus
cuniculus), Cottontail rabbit (genus
Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami
rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, endangered
species on
Amami Ōshima,
Japan). There are many other species of rabbit,
and these, along with
pikas
and hares, make up the order
Lagomorpha.

Above are some photos a customer in Virginia sent us of their Rabbit
Holding Carrots weathervane. They built a charming new two car garage
with a cupola and wanted to put a Rabbit weathervane on top of it. They found
our website online and placed their order with us to make it for them. The
cupola has a nice standing seam copper roof on it which is a nice complement to
the weathervane itself. If you look closely you can see the light
they installed on the roof to illuminate it at night. Night lights are nice
because they allow you to enjoy your weathervane night or day. This particular
weathervane was made in a combination of copper and brass (the rabbit's ears,
cotton tail and the carrots are brass, the rabbit's body and the fronds on top
of the carrots are copper). If
optional gold leaf is
added to the weathervane, it really catches the light at night and draws your
eye towards the weathervane.
It is
always a treat when a customer takes the time to send us photos of their
installed weathervane as we so rarely get to see them once they leave the
studio.
