Flying Mallard — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Clip-On Bird Ornament
Caught mid-flight and frozen in wood. This Flying Mallard clip-on ornament is individually hand-carved from premium basswood and hand-painted with acrylic paints to capture the drake's iconic emerald-green head, chestnut breast, and outstretched wings — in vivid, lifelike detail. A dramatic, dynamic piece unlike any traditional hanging ornament.
The built-in clip attachment lets you place it anywhere — Christmas tree branches, wreaths, garlands, houseplants, bookshelves, or gift wrapping. A versatile piece that works as seasonal décor and year-round display.

✦ Why Wooden Islands?
Every piece in our collection is crafted by hand in small batches using sustainably sourced hardwoods and traditional carving techniques. This is not mass-produced seasonal décor — it is a small work of art made to last well beyond the holidays.
✦ Care Instructions
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Natural wood grain variation is a feature of handmade work, not a flaw.
