Got this for my wife for her birthday several years ago and it still gives pleasure in viewing it, and it draws lots of compliments from guests at our home.
An excellent choice of what would normally be scrap wood. It works well. I would suggest that the birds be wrapped separately when shipped because of their beaks being so delicate.
I really love this pendant. The carving is so very detailed and it is scientifically accurate as well, which I really appreciate. It is thick and sturdy so I have no worries that it could get broken.
