Collector’s Note Carving from wood allows for a level of warmth and organic texture that mass-produced materials cannot achieve. Unlike resin, this solid basswood piece allows for anatomical precision found in our full Hand-Painted Collection. Basswood is highly prized by master carvers for its fine, even grain, ensuring that every detail—from the tilt of the head to the curve of the wing—is preserved for years to come.
