Earl's Hand-Painted Bird Bath

Regular price $45.00

A small, hand-painted bird bath from Wisconsin woodcarver Earl Haugen – carved by hand, cast in high-quality resin and painted coat by coat.

For more than ten years Earl only sold his bird baths locally – at the county fair, the Saturday farmers' market, the church holiday bazaar and to folks who pulled into his driveway. This winter he's putting what's left in his barn online. When it's gone, there won't be another sale.

When creeks ice over and puddles freeze solid, backyard birds still need fresh water – to drink, and to keep their feathers clean, because clean feathers are what keep them warm. A small, shallow bowl by the back door, refilled every morning, makes a real difference.

Choose your design

  • The Fox The first oneA sleepy, smiling fox balancing a timber-look bowl on his head.
  • The Raccoon StumpTwo cheeky raccoons in a hollow stump, bark-edged bowl on top.
  • The Golden RetrieverA sitting golden with his pup peeking over a timber-look bowl.
  • Rooster & HenA proud pair under a wide, shallow bowl – for anyone who keeps chickens.
  • The HedgehogHolds a green leaf bowl over his head.

How each one is made

  1. The master carving. Earl carves the original by hand from a single block of basswood, leaving every knife facet visible.
  2. The mold. A silicone mold picks up every cut – fur, bark, feathers.
  3. Cast in high-quality resin. Keeps the carved detail and won't crack in a freeze the way glazed ceramic and concrete can.
  4. Hand-painted. Several layers – base color, darker washes worked into the cuts – finished with a clear outdoor coat. No two come out exactly alike.

"Everybody fills the feeders in winter. Hardly anybody thinks about water." – Earl

Why birds like it

  • Shallow bowl – easier to keep open, and safe for small songbirds
  • Textured surface – carved detail gives cold little feet something to grip
  • Small and light – at about 10 inches it sits right on the porch step, where you'll actually refill it
  • Weather-tough resin – made to stay outside through a northern winter

Earl's winter setup
  • Close to the door – if you can reach it from the porch in your slippers, it gets refilled every morning
  • Warm, never hot – melt ice with warm water, never boiling
  • Nothing added – never salt, antifreeze or glycerin
  • Near cover, not inside it – close to a shrub or evergreen, with open space around it so cats can't sneak up
  • Fresh every morning – birds learn where reliable water is
Once a design is gone, it's gone. As each piece is painted by hand, colors vary slightly from the photos. A great Christmas gift for anyone who loves their backyard birds.
