Oyster catcher

Oyster catchers can be seen around the coast of the UK, and in more recent years have started breeding further inland.  This one was commissioned as a birthday gift.

​

The contrasting tones are made from black walnut and sycamore, with the red beak in padauk.

​

Slim copper rods provide the characteristic pinkish red legs.  The base is made from a narrow block of acacia wood with strong growth rings in a warm sandy tone.
