Old Wooden Cardinal Cutout with Bright Yellow Painted Beak canisters great for a gala but

great for a gala but also with jeans and a t-shirt

Perhaps a secret snuff compartment

Hard to beat mustachioed faces topped with red bowler hats

where he lives and displays his carvings in a gallery at his house

and seeing the design and illustrations in this old copy reminds me of both their strangeness and their magic

Old Wooden Cardinal Cutout with Bright Yellow Painted Beak canisters great for a gala butI had a great old wooden cutout bluebird in the shop a few months ago, found in Maine just as this Cardinal was, and I have a bit of a hunch they were made by the same person. The polychrome color on this one has similarly faded with age, especially the red, but I think it is all to the good in making for the perfect contrast with the still super bright and thick yellow paint on the beak. I do think this one would do a good job attracting other birds
