It gets better outside
Your piece arrives as bare steel. Outdoors it starts to rust within a few weeks and darkens to a warm brown over the next few months, blending with bark, stone and garden beds.
It lasts for many years outdoors with no paint and no upkeep.
About Ironwing Studio
We make steel birds and woodland animals for yards, gardens, fences and trees. Every piece starts as an original design that we turn into a cut file for steel. Each one is laser cut, and any mounting tabs are bent by hand, in our shop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Questions
Does it come already rusted?
It ships as bare or lightly rusted steel. Set it outside and the weather does the rest. It starts to rust within a few weeks and turns a warm brown over the next few months.
Will the rust stain anything?
It can. Rust can stain surfaces it touches or drips onto, so keep it off painted siding, light concrete and light decks.
How do I install it?
Tree art: tap the pointed branch end into a tree, wooden post or fence with a hammer. Lawn stakes: push the flat stakes straight down into the soil (water dry ground first). Post toppers: set the foot plate on a post, stump or rail and drive two small wood screws through the holes. Mailbox toppers bolt on with the hardware included.
