​​Welcome

Welcome to the Wooden Bird website.  

To learn a little about me and how I got into carving ducks, stop by the ABOUT page. 

I'll keep you updated on what I'm working on at On the bench.  

For a closer look at many of my birds, visit the gallery and click on any of the photos.  You can check out our Facebook Wooden Bird page at the Bird Blog and get tips on bird carving, if you are so inclined. 

If you are interested in one of my little wooden feathered friends, as a unique gift or would like to add to your collection, visit the Duck Shop or look at the gallery of SOLD ducks for ideas on a personalized duck just for you. Visit our contact page if you have a question or comment or want to join our mailing list. 

For Holiday gifts, I suggest a Commission Duck gift certificate. It will describe the bird you are giving, and the estimated date of arrival as well as describing the fun process of creating a bird together!  I'll also send you a Wooden Bird coffee mug as a stocking stuffer with your certificate.  For ideas on a duck, you might like to check out the SOLD page. Contact me for more information.  

Thanks for stopping by and for your interest in my work.
