Tuesday's Feature Nature Plaque

Deer and Eagle
11 1/2"h by 6 1/2 w
Plaque : Oak
Cutouts : Baltic Birch

If you or someone you know is a hunter or wildlife lover, this plaque is a great edition for the wall. Poppy used different colored stains for the background and the deer and the eagle.

Fun Facts: Eagles: Only two species in North America. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle. Eagles will use the same nest every year.
Deer : Once a deer has claimed a territory, they won't leave it. They would starve rather than leave that area. Deer can live up to 11 years in the wild.

Nature Week



This week we are going to feature Nature Plaques that we have in the store. Today's plaque is the Pheasants.

This plaque is 10"h by 14"w. The frame is made out of Poplar and the cutouts are made out of Baltic Birch.

We used a close up of this picture to allow you to see the detail and cuts in this plaque. Different color stains help to give the pheasants color along with their background.

If you or someone you know is a hunter or wildlife lover, this plaque is a great edition for the wall.

Fun Facts: Pheasants are a very popular game bird. There are over 35 species in the world. The males are larger than females and have longer tail feathers. They mostly eat seeds and small insects. If you see a group of pheasants together on the ground, they are called a Nye.
