  • Birds of Prey can vary from a simple "perched" bird on a limb, to a bird with wings outstretched, preparing to take fligh, to a huge bird landing on top of an existing tree.
  • A bird can be depicted guarding a nest full of eggs or goslings, screaming at some intruder or captured in full flight.
  • The prices above reflect a wide range of poses and mountings and are taken from a more detailed pricing guide, which is available on request.
  • Wing span measures from tip to tip with both wings extended.   


 

 

  • Prices are for a standard degree of detail.  Extra refinement or detail, and pieces higher than 7 ft. tall, as well as monumental sculptures require a special quote.
  • Totem Poles require special quotes..
  • Prices include basic staining, painting or burnishing and a finish suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
  • All sculptures are made of Western Red Cedar, unless otherwise authorized.
