This Flushing Ground Birds Weathervane includes a Pheasant, a Gambel’s Quail and a Bobwhite Quail. It was ordered in an Extra Large to bring the three detailed birds visually to scale when viewed from a distance. Our master vane maker did wonders in creating the textures of the various birds’ feathers, through precision hammering with specially created hammers. The swell bodied birds are copper and the grasses are a mix of copper and brass hammered silhouette style from flat sheet. The pheasant has red glass eyes and the quail have brown. Optional gold leafing was requested to accent the birds’ markings, feet and beaks, and for the arrow tip and fletching. These bright touches are very effective in conveying the detail when viewed from a distance and will remain bright for many years as the copper and brass darken and weather.

This is the fifth weather vane these customers have ordered from us, and we love their enthusiasm! On all of them, their family name was inscribed on the arrow, and ‘Lucky Pennies‘ from their birth years were attached inside the sculpture piece. The penny from the year of the vane’s completion caps the tube of the arrow. As with all of our much-appreciated continuing customers, they enjoy a 10% discount on all of their orders.
