All of our sculptures are made from Oregon Sugar Pine then hand carved and individually painted in Montana. These are American made through and through. Each have their own unique aspects from Mother Nature, you are able to see faint wood grain underneath the paint. Don't let a resin manufactured replica fool you, get the real wood carving at great prices! Birds are in various positions: facing straight ahead, turned to the side, looking up... Our black bears are hand carved and retain the qualities of real wood. Natural imperfections are part of the character of each bear. No two bears are exactly alike. Compare our real American wood carvings to imported resin items! Weight varies due to the size and moisture content of the wood.
