Handcrafted Driftwood Birds
created by Jim and Lynn Wettach

Handcrafted Driftwood Birds are the creation of local St. Augustine artists, Jim and Lynn Wettach. From designing to woodworking to painting to the finished piece, each contributes their own special talents to the creation of these delightful designs.

Handcrafted White Heron

Jim is a very accomplished woodworker and has perfected his craft over the past five years. He cuts and carves, one bird at a time, on his band saw. Then, he weathers the birds bringing out the beautiful grain that enhances the driftwood effect. Further carving smooths out any rough lines.

Next, Lynn hand paints the birds. She begins with a special technique to lightly cover the wing. Next, several coats of paint are applied to the body. Lastly, she adds the beak which brings them to life. A glass eye is added and the finishing touches applied. The bird is balanced, a wire hanger is attached to the back then they are ready to hang at your home, inside or out.

Every bird is unique and just a bit different from all the rest. One thing that is certain, when a Handcrafted Driftwood Birds graces your wall it is sure to bring a smile to everyone who passes by.
