The loon in its classic alert posture — head held level, riding low on imagined water, that chequered black and white plumage immediately recognisable. This hand carved wooden loon in our medium straight pose, 13.5"L, is one of our most popular loon sculptures. The loon was made famous to a generation by the film On Golden Pond — and for anyone who has spent time on a northern lake, it carries that same quiet, timeless quality.

Aviologie's style has elements of distressing and natural variation that are part of what makes each piece unique. Their photos represent the birds accurately, but they are individually hand carved pieces with the soul of variation, not cast resin replicas.
Jesus said "consider the birds" (Luke 12:24), so they did!
Designed on Vancouver Island by Anna & David, each bird is brought to life by the same three families of skilled artisans they have supported, and been supported by, for over 15 years.
Drawing on centuries-old village carving techniques, they blend indigenous folk art with modern design to create timeless art pieces that are simple, refined, and equally at home in settings (rustic, classic or modern), as varied as their customers.
