Inspired by the book ‘Jonathon Livingston Seagull’ written by Richard Bach, Brian Dawson carves each bird from a solid piece of hardwood, not steam bent, so that the lines of the grain follow the contours of the wing. Each pair of wings is then individually balanced with the body as each bird varies in weight and character.

Brian uses English hard woods that have been seasoned for up to three years.
