His name is "Louie" I have one of his weather vanes. My husband is a "woodturner" and we turned it into a piece of "inside" art. The vain is mounted in the center of a beautiful turned burl. The piece is moved around our house depedling on the season. If you want a pic let me know!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to share my "Christmas Martins" with people who I thought would appreciate them.
A delightful gentleman (and now friend) from Kansas made the exquisite weather vane. Thank you Louie! My sweet husband (a wood turner) sacrificed an oak burl just for me as the base.
I had originally intended for this to be the center piece on our patio table. The two pieces together turned out so stunning I think I have just acquired "house martins"!
Wishing you all a happy & healthy New Year!

Wow Tammy, that's some beautiful work! I might not be the only one interested if your friend were to mass produce those. And your husband really did some fantastic work with the base!!
Happy New Year and best wishes on many succesful Martin Years!

Thank you to all who have responded.
Dick: No need to worry about the burl getting weathered! The decision has been made...the "Martins" are going to "live" inside!
