The feather pins shown below are carved from basswood, a very light wood with no grain, and then acrylic paint is applied for the realistic color. Each feather is hand carved, detail added to simulate a feather, painted and then signed by the artist. No two are identical, even though we try to make them as much alike as possible. Each feather has a 1" pin attached, with a safety lock on each pin. Most of the feathers are lifesize, but a few have been altered to make an attractive size for a pin.

Our feather pins are attractive as lapel pins or hat pins and make wonderful gifts at any time of the year.

Added to our website for a special gift for a special person (on Valentine's Day) is a captivating lifesize wood sculpture of an Eastern Bluebird Male in a nest box, poised to take that necessary flight to obtain food for its young.

 Several new miniature bird carvings by Bobby featured on our website: Barn Swallow, Black-necked Stilt, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Purple Gallinule, Red Breasted Goose, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Sandhill Cranes
