01
Select the Timber
Sustainably sourced Michigan timber. White pine is usually the go-to. Cedar, oak and maple each have their own character and behave differently under the saw.
02
Rough the Form
Chainsaw work defines the overall shape. The most instinctive part: following the grain, working with the wood's natural direction.
03
Refine & Detail
Angle grinders bring out fine details like feathers, fur and bark texture. Hours of careful shaping at every scale.
04
Finish & Seal
Multiple coats of exterior-grade sealant. Your piece arrives ready to display indoors or out, protected against moisture and UV.
