The Rooster and the background are made entirely with Weathered Cedar Fence Pickets except the eye which is copper pipe and acrylic resin. The wood feathers are hand cut, fitted, painted with artist oils and glued to a "manikin" body - one feather at a time.

The entire picture is sealed with lacquer and picture wire has been fixed to the back so it can hang on your wall.
