In addition to carving hundreds of full size working decoys, Maynard Caine also spent much of his time carving song birds such as this Cardinal.

Shown here is a solid wood handcarved and painted Cardinal.

This fellow has glass eyes, and a real charmer that can only be appreciated when holding it in your hand. The scale is 100% life size and the colors are true to life. Extra carving detail shows in the raised primaries, tail feathers, bill, head tuft, and face areas.

Measures 7" long, tip to tip and the carving stands 5" tall as shown in the top photo. Mint condition.
