Crazy weathervane and the birds

Currently:
The Gallery at Matticks Farm, Butchart Gardens, Sooke Harbour House, Abkhazi Gardens, and Sea Cider on the Penninsula

The birds were finished off on driftwood and unique metal pieces, one with round bar bent around the wood, then photographed. A wethervane style creation is on the bench now, it has to be interesting, whimsical, and have some movement to it, it will continue on in to next week. Starting out I cut some fun shapes, fish, and an arm, and collected parts to get the general shape going with a post that can move freely in the wind. There is always an issue with rust and seizing up unless you have a sealed unit, but sometimes a simple bar running in a tube has less to go wrong with it. Almost summer temperatures make the shop pretty warm in the afternoons but I am not complaining.
