Ball in cage whimsies
Whimsies are always a challenge to carve. A wrong cut or slip of the knife can ruin the entire piece. My whimsies are carved from one piece of wood, with inter-acting parts, that may or may not be connected, but will not come apart. (Unless, of couse, it gets broken.) Examples of whimsy tricks are ball in cage, slides, pivots, rotations and other techniques. Whimsies are very fragile and are not toys, but rather collector pieces to be seen and handled gently. If you have any questions or comments about my whimsies, please contact me at carveshop@aol.com

Bird in cage
This whimsey is a bird in cage. The bird is 8" wide and cannot get out of the cage. The cage is 9 1/2" tall and with the chain extended, the total length of the carving is 19 1/2". This is a great pet. He eats very little, almost never sings and you will never have to clean the cage.
He is also a great conversation piece!
