This unique wildlife replica features a guilded
beaver displaying his handiwork on an illuminated tree stump.
The life-like essence of this elusive creature has been captured in
the finest detail.
This is the second of three original American Beavers.
It was casted with recycled glass and mounted on a base with an
informative plaque about beavers. A replaceable flourescent
light illuminates the stump. The complete sculpture measures
30"x15"x17" and weighs 35 pounds.
American Beaver #1 with lighted stump is For Sale...
only two beavers with lighted stumps have been casted. I
have a comission due on this one, you will have to deal with the comissioner... Note: This rare #1 is
on display and For Sale at 'Antique & Craft City' 1270 Merriam Lane,
Kansas City, Kansas. You can call them at (913) 677-0752 for directions
or to make an offer...
These new realistic, painted, reinforced concrete models
stand 18 inches high and weigh about 120 pounds.
*Acrylic sealers and paints provide a beautiful, long-lasting
finish suitable for any outdoor setting. I get a very bad
back ache everytime I try to move one of these. It usually hurts
for a few days to a week. I thought that if they were really heavy
they would not be likely to be stolen... Yes, they are too heavy
to ship...
The American Beaver is rather easy to paint. A dark black or
brown primer coat is applied then a dry brushing with lighter brown paints
brings out the incredible details. A touch of white paint on the
Teeth and maybe some green on the leafs on the base makes for an awesome
creature.
Bronze American Beaver
I did cast a couple of American Beavers
in fiberglass. They can be lighter than concrete but less durable
than Bronze. Now that's cool...
A Bronze edition is ready to go...
They are identical to the concrete version, however the base
is not as thick. These will provide extended value and will withstand
the extremes of an outdoor setting for an extremely long time.
The initial price is $1,250 each which includes a real numbered Bronze
American Beaver casting finished with an elegant patina, boxed, and ready
to ship. Half payment is due when the wax model is shipped to the
foundry and the second half payment will be due about 9 weeks later, in
addition to shipping, and applicable Sales Taxes when the model is ready
to ship directly to you from the foundry. Let us know if you need additional
information or want a Bronze American
Beaver.
American Beaver
Molds available...
New Concrete Molds are made of high
quality polyurethane rubber with a hard outer shell constructed of fiberglass
and wood. We do not skimp on details or materials. The mold
should be good for hundreds of castings. The concrete beavers are
very heavy and you would not want to get into this unless you are properly
equipped to handle heavy duty concrete casting...
Concrete Dealer List is a growing listing
of locations where Nite Owl Concrete models are available. This list may
not be entirely accurate or up to date, so let us know if you don't see
a dealer (retailer, certified caster) in your area..
