This is an original "Flying Duck" design by renowned marquetry artist Jeff Nelson of a mallard drake landing in excellent condition. Jeff currently works out of his Hudson River Inlay studio located in New Windsor, NY. You may have seen him and his work at a craft show. The art of marquetry is the process of inlaying different types of wood to create the image of the object. No two pieces are ever the same, due to the nature of the wood; its varying grain and hue. The wood used for the clouds and sky is one piece of red gumwood, the water is myrtlewood from Oregon, and the green head is a dyed wood. The position of the feet and wings creates a sense of movement. This comes with a COA; Certificate of Authenticity and a wood legend which identifies the woods and their corresponding location. When made, it was cut, glued down, sanded, and coated with lemon oil. There is no painting. Incredible detail. The back of the frame has a hanger attached for hanging on the wall. It measures 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches and the frame is made from western alder with lemon oil. Email me any questions, Matt. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ARTIST - It all began in 1979, as the hobby of three friends working together in a small loft in San Francisco’s Embarcadero section. Positive recognition at art shows and exhibits prompted a move cross-country to New York State
