Our very adaptable Oak Leaf Weather Vane is based on the leaves of a White Oak, Quercus alba. This design can easily be adjusted to reflect the leaves and acorns of different types of oaks, including the Southern Live Oak, Quercus virginiana, the Pin Oak, Quercus palustris, or the Northern Red,Quercus rubra Oak, to name but a few. In fact, if you have a favorite tree of any kind, we can work with you to create a weathervane based on its attributes!
The Oak Leaf Weather Vane sculpture piece can be made entirely in copper or in metal combination with a brass nut. Many of our customers select optional gold leafing on either the cap or body of the nut and/or gilded veins in the leaf. The combination of the copper and gold leaf makes a nice contrast as the copper moves through the patina process, first turning a deep chocolate brown color and then eventually green (like the Statue of Liberty).
In addition to this Single Oak Leaf Weathervane, we also offer a Double Oak Leaf Weathervane and an Oak Leaf Banner weathervane.
In Norse mythology, the oak was sacred to the thunder god Thor. Some scholars speculate that this is because the oak, as the largest tree in northern Europe, was the one most often struck by lightning. In Classical mythology, the oak was a symbol of Zeus and was his sacred tree. If you live on a property where an oak tree has been struck by lightening, pairing an Oak themed weathervane with our Zeus Weathervane would make a mighty statement! When customers order two or more weathervanes from us at the same time, we offer a 10% on all.
