This Fence Post Real Wood Duck Sculpture Small is a one-of-a-kind work of art handcrafted from a rich piece of Western American history. This is NOT a plastic reproduction.
- Because every fence post has its own unique history told in its grain, color, and shape, each fence post duck is also completely different in size, shape, and color.
- Over 100 years ago, homesteaders along the Rocky Mountains staked out new land by planting juniper (cedar) fence posts around their property strung with barbed wire to contain cattle.
- Invented by woodworker Wayne Murray and perfected by former liturgical sculptor Tim Bergren, each Fence Post Wood Duck is created from a genuine, juniper fence post recycled from early American West ranches.
- Part historical artifact, part original work of art, a portion of each duck remains unfinished to reveal the quality, history, and texture of the original wood post set against the smooth, polished wood of the sculptural portion.
- The juniper fence post wood (cedar) is naturally insect-repellent and weather-resistant
- Pieces vary in color from deep red wood to honey-gold and blonde The Fence Post Duck sculptures were born out of the artists' desire "to create something new from something that holds so much history" and make a striking accent piece as well as a fascinating conversation starter.
