A Splash of Raspberry Red, Frozen in Wood — Carved by Hand, Painted with Care

The Purple Finch — famously described as a sparrow dipped in raspberry juice — is one of North America’s most charming and distinctive songbirds. This hand-carved, hand-painted basswood figurine captures its rich, rosy plumage and compact, spirited form in remarkable artisan detail. Mounted on a solid Black Walnut base, it’s a warm, vibrant piece that brings natural beauty into any space.

Every figurine is carved and painted entirely by hand — no molds, no shortcuts. Just skilled craftsmanship and a genuine love for the birds of the wild.

✦ The Story Behind the Piece

Roger Tory Peterson’s famous description of the Purple Finch — “a sparrow dipped in raspberry juice” — says everything. It’s a bird that surprises you. Subtle at a distance, stunning up close. This figurine works the same way: understated on first glance, but the more you look, the more you see — the careful brushwork, the grain of the walnut base, the posture that feels alive. A piece worth looking at twice.

✦ Dimensions

  • Bird: 4 inches (L)
  • Base: 1.5 inches (H)
  • Materials: Basswood (bird), Black Walnut (base)

✦ Care Instructions

Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the hand-painted finish. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth.
