The first Bird was made from handmade horseshoeing clinchers that my grandfather gave me as the beak and eyes.
The present was when I was 18 years old and went to school to become a blacksmith at Green MTN Blacksmith. I have carried those things around, all these years thinking someday they will make a wonderful bird.
There has been a flock of 10 made for the sculpture garden summer series, most are sold.
