Perched on a large piece of watermelon, one blackbird's expression is "Why did I even ask?" because the other blackbird is going on and on incessantly. This bit of whimsy makes you smile and who hasn't experienced a conversation like this? All carved from American chestnut, the watermelon is laced with tiny wormholes and lots of beautiful wood grain. The blackbird's are carved on a smaller scale but loaded with expression. The blackbird's feet are made from copper wire and some secret stuff to make them truly lifelike.
