Birds. Here at Wavecrest Woodcraft, we love them. They can fly after all – and that’s awesome! It also makes their feathers quintessential symbols of liberty, replete with the idea of breaking free, be it from physical, spiritual or emotional constraints. The feather’s literal lightness, meanwhile, suggests a sense of optimism, and the ability, perhaps, to let go of the heavy burdens we each carry.
What’s not to like, right?
How It’s Made
Our versions of The Feather are composed of carefully paired layers of high quality 3mm ply, variously veneered with birch, bubinga and walnut, amongst other hardwoods, before being scored, engraved and cut to size.
These bare layers are then painted with watercolours and / or dyed with a variety of inks and stains before finish is applied and assembly occurs. Last but not least, the final assembly is fitted and fixed into a 25x25cm shadow box frame. These come in three shades: black, white and grey.
Every Piece Unique
Please note that no two of our feathers are the same! As a consequence of the distinctive grain patterns of the hardwood veneers we adhere to our sustainably sourced substrates, as well as our in-house painter’s artistic inclinations, every piece we produce is completely unique: a one-of-a-kind work of art with a depth and complexity certain to catch the eyes of passers-by.
The piece you see here is just one of The Feathers we have available for sale. It is engraved with an accented quote from the poet Emily Dickinson which reads: “Hope is the thing with feathers. It perches in the soul and sings.”
Here are the other versions of The Feather we have in stock at present.
