Brenda's Handmade Patriotic Eagle Garden Stake
Hand-Made in Muskogee, Oklahoma
Brenda Tolliver, 67. Working metal by hand for thirty years. Every summer she has made her American eagles for the Fourth of July. For the country's 250th, she's making her last.
"The first one was never meant to be sold. I made it for my father's grave — he served in Korea and almost never spoke of it. Folks at the cemetery saw it and started asking. That's how it began, one eagle at a time."
— Brenda Tolliver, Muskogee, Oklahoma

Why This Eagle
Six Things You Won't Find on a Cheap Import
Every detail below is the result of thirty years of making the same thing by hand — and refusing to cut a corner on any of them.
Heavy-Gauge American Steel
Not the thin tin that bends in your hand and arrives the size of a dinner plate. This is heavy-gauge steel, cut and shaped by hand. Pick it up once and you can feel the difference between a real piece and a Facebook-ad knock-off.
Hand-Painted, Layer by Layer
The deep blue of the field, the red and white through the wings, the white crown of the head — brushed on by hand, layer after layer, with a UV-stable finish over the top. It won't fade to the sad pink the cheap ones turn by August.
Primed So Rust Never Takes Hold
The bare metal is primed before a drop of color goes on, so rust never gets a foothold. It stands through sun, rain, and wind, season after season — left out from Memorial Day clear through Veterans Day, year after year.
A Full 66 Inches Tall
Taller than most of the "jumbo" eagles in the photos — 66″ high, 32″ wide, 21″ deep. The picture is the product. What you see is exactly what arrives at your door.
Made & Shipped in the USA
Made by hand in the United States and shipped from a U.S. warehouse — not bent into a box overseas. If anything's wrong, a real person answers here in the States, not a dead return address.
No Assembly Line — No Two Alike
Each eagle takes the better part of two days. It is cut, shaped, and hand-painted individually, which is why no two are ever exactly the same. There never was an assembly line, and there never will be.
✦ Craft Note
"The difference between a hand-built metal piece and a stamped import is obvious the moment you hold both. Heavy-gauge steel that's been hand-primed and finished with a UV-stable coat will hold its color and shape outdoors for years, where a thin printed import fades and rusts within a season. What's being made here is the real thing — the same way these pieces have been built by hand for generations."

Quality Promise
Five Things You Get With Every Eagle
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
If the eagle doesn't feel right when it arrives — the weight, the finish, the size, anything — send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No overseas return address, no runaround. Just an email to our team here in the States.
✦ A Note From Muskogee
Brenda hand-finishes every eagle and looks over each one before it ships. Slight variations in the brushwork and the shaping of the metal are a natural part of handmade work — no two eagles are exactly alike, and that is by design. The steel is cut by hand. The paint is brushed on, layer by layer. Each one takes the better part of two days. These aren't flaws. They are the maker's hand at work — thirty years of it.

Message from the Artist:
After years of making things by hand, our workshop is closing. These are the last pieces we'll ever ship. Every item on this page was made slowly, carefully, and with more love than any factory could replicate. Nothing rushed. Nothing outsourced. Just real craft from real hands.
We're proud of every single one. We hope they find good homes.
When they're gone, they're gone — and so are we.

What Brenda'a customers are saying
Put him up on the garden wall by my flower beds and light him with a little spotlight in the evenings, and honestly he looks even better at night than in the daytime. The wings throw the prettiest shadow on that wall. My husband gave 28 years to the police force, that's the blue line flag next to him, and now it all just belongs together out there. Real proud of this one.

I had to grab a picture the second I got him set up out front by the porch. The colors are so bright the photo doesn't even do him justice. He's heavy and solid too, none of that thin tin like the junk I ordered online one time and sent right back. The neighbor across the road already came over to ask where I got him

Not gonna lie I bought it mostly because it was pretty and I needed a new everyday bag. But this thing is STURDY. I've stuffed it to the brim multiple times and it holds its shape perfectly. The stitching is incredible up close. My husband who never notices anything I buy stopped and said "wait, where did you get that?" That's when you know!

I ordered this as a little treat-myself moment and I'm SO glad I did. The cat and the books together — it's just the most me thing I've ever owned. My daughter borrowed it for school already and now I have to fight her for it. Ships fast, packaged really nicely, feels like it was made by someone who actually cared. Which apparently she was. Thank you Marty!!
