{"product_id":"danish-carved-wooden-bird","title":"Danish Carved Wooden Bird","description":"\u003cp\u003eMid-century Danish workshops turned out wooden birds by the thousand, and the reason the shape has lasted is that it does almost nothing: a smooth body, a suggestion of a tail, a beak reduced to an angle, and no eyes or feathers at all. What is left is a silhouette that reads instantly as a bird from across a room while remaining, close up, simply a beautifully finished piece of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis one follows that tradition properly. The body is turned and hand-sanded to a soft satin rather than a lacquered gloss, so the grain stays visible and the surface is pleasant to pick up - and it will be picked up. It sits well on its own on a mantel, but works even better beside one or two other objects of different heights, which is how the originals were always shown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause it is solid timber, the grain, colour and figuring vary from piece to piece; no two are identical, and that variation is the point rather than a fault. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, both of which will dry and fade wood over time. Dust with a dry cloth, and feed the surface with a little wax once a year if it starts to look thirsty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-finished solid wood bird sculpture in the Danish tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurned body with a soft satin finish, not lacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural grain and colour vary between individual pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of direct sunlight and away from radiators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust dry; wax occasionally to maintain the finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative object, not a toy - keep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lockhone","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":58876711240064,"sku":"LH-BWL-0316","price":78.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/4737\/5232\/files\/H4afe4135cbaf424b91fce3ad74abae39Z_bb6f9397-e8d5-4310-a3a0-b66aca181fc9.jpg?v=1788763340","url":"https:\/\/lockhone.com\/products\/danish-carved-wooden-bird","provider":"Lockhone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
