Hand Carved Mini Puffin - One of "mini" collection of birds. These make the perfect little gift for nature lovers.
4.25" long by 3".

Smaller but very similar to the original decoy used by Steve Kress of the Audubon Puffin Project to attract the puffin back to the islands off Maine's coast to build their nests. This successful mission has gone on to be used by many re-popluation efforts over the years. Our puffins comes in larger sizes.

Entirely hand crafted from carving to painting and finishing with wax polish. Made under fair trade principles using sustainable softwood and non toxic paints.

Anna & David create unique birds derived from a meeting between indigenous folk art and western aesthetics. From home on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the sea, mountains and and abundance of birds, they have much to inspire them and offer designs that bring simple yet refined examples of natures greatest inspiration.

They have been working closely with the same three families of carvers for over 7 years, drawing on the villages centuries old techniques to realize beautiful products.

Using Albesia and Coffee wood, these fast growing timbers come from sustainable farming practices for continued harvest and regrowth.Please Note: Our designs aim to capture the essence of the bird and are not about technical exactitude. This means random and light sanding are part of the look. This is called "distressing" in the business and it varies across our range. Our photos represent the birds very accurately but be aware these are individually made by hand and not cast resin replicas. It is this style of painting and finish which makes our pieces unique and so loved.
