Detailed Swell-Bodied Weathervanes
Most of the commissions made here at West Coast Weather Vanes are for Detailed Swell-Bodied Weathervanes. Like our Simple Swell-Bodied Weathervanes, they also have two shaped sides, but tend to consist of many individual pieces that are shaped and contoured before being soldered together. They also have detailed musculature and other personalized details such as glass eyes, etc.
Because these weathervanes require more skill and time to hand shape, they are priced accordingly. If you compare our Simple Swell-Bodied Steeplechase Horse Weathervane our Detailed Swell-Bodied Jumping Horse Weathervane, you can see this differences.
