For generations, Southeast Asian villagers cleared bamboo fields and the roots were tossed into a large pile and burned. Now todays villagers have found employment and are preventing the air pollution this once caused. To create these unique ducks, skilled artisans start with the body which is hand carved from a bamboo root. The carved root is then kiln dried to cure it. A head and feet made from reclaimed teak are then attached to the body before a specialized paint is applied. Each root with its unique shape, twists and curves, determine the personality or attitude of the creature. These ducks are weatherproof so you can put them out in your gardens or in a special place in your home.
