The Ivory-billed Woodpecker, the
bird that inspired the cartoon character of Woody Woodpecker and
long thought to be extinct, has been sited and is the subject of an
intense ornithological search in the lower Mississippi River region.
Overboard Art obtained old Smithsonian photos
of the preserved bird to produce its life-like full-size sculpture
titled "At the Edge".
The piece is a wall-hung sculpture of the bird
emerging form it nesting cavity in a tree. The piece is hand-made in
permanent sculpture resins then hand painted by studio artists.
Signed and numbered by Don Briddell, the designer. Suitable for
indoor or outdoor use. .
