if you go to You Tube and type in
Don Pacey, Master Wood Carver
you will see a video that a guy by the name of Joe Smith has put up about Don Pacey and all his beautiful bird wood carvings, and how he made the leaves out of metal, hand sculpted berries and twigs, etc.
Don Pacey beautifully carved Nuthatch bird on holly berry branch.  This piece of carved wood is amazing!!! The detail that this artist was able to pull off is to be commended.....he is a master carver!  Even though the bird is wood, the artist was able to make each individual feather feel as if it were real, let alone look real. The wings and tail feathers are so detailed. the materials used in this sculpture is metal for the leaves, wire and other materials.......it's  beautifully painted,  truly a piece of art.
He was given title of World Class Carver.   Everything is hand made when made for competition.   the leaves are made of copper as is the branches, most likely copper tubing.
The Nuthatch is on a holly with berries branch which is on a cypress tree root trunk, or it's a piece of driftwood, not sure.
total height with glass dome in place is 8" tall and the base is 4-1/2" square.  the bird is 3-1/2" tall
carved in the bottom is
Carving by Don Pacey ~ Painting & Habitat by Sue Kraft.
Sue Kraft had taken lessons from Don Pacey.......and I am guessing this was a collaboration.
everything is excellent condition.......you will love this work of art!
