All my decorative carvings are done on a commission basis. Delivery time is normally three to four months depending upon other work in progress.
Each bird is carved life-size out of tupelo and meticulously
hand painted in fine art acrylics. I do not use an airbrush in my painting.
All birds are decorative, competition grade birds. At time of commission, I may request that your bird be entered in decoy competitions. Any awards won will be retained by the artist; however, ribbons won will go to the collector who has commissioned the bird. Songbirds and other species are available by request and will be quoted based on the complexity of the project. A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time of commission.
