Wood Duck Flying Magnet B008

The Wood Duck, often called the "Carolina Duck" or "Summer Duck," is a stunning and vibrant waterfowl species native to North America. Known for its striking plumage, it boasts an array of colors with iridescent greens, blues, and purples on its head, while its body is adorned with intricate patterns of white, chestnut, and black. These ducks are famous for their remarkable beauty and are considered one of the most visually captivating waterfowl species. They are often found in wooded wetlands and freshwater habitats, where they nest in tree cavities, and they are known for their strong and rapid flight, making them agile in navigating through densely wooded areas. Their distinctive appearance and behavior make them a prized sighting for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike, adding a touch of elegance to wetland ecosystems.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths vary by design. Smaller magnets pull 3–5 lbs — enough to hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. The heavier premium magnets use an even stronger 6–7 lb magnet, and slim designs use two smaller magnets where one won't fit. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they will never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
