Grainger McKoy has a passion for the "pursuit of the flight of birds in wood." For a quarter century McKoy has been masterfully carving bird sculptures out of wood. Recently he opened up a whole new territory, he started using his wood carvings into bronze casts in which he poured gold and silver into. This discovery also moved him into the realm of wearable sculptures, or jewelry. Like his sculpture, the "jewelry design is of or about a bird, and starts with a piece of wood and a sharp blade."
The jewelry line, which started as a Christmas Gift for Mckoy's wife, has flourished. Now woman can purchase earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets in Gold or Sterling Silver fashioned from feathers, quails, and other birdly inspirations. The Recovery Stroke Earrings were made upon a customer's request for a gift to give on the 10th anniversary of their wife surviving cancer, these earrings are based on a 12-foot tall Recovery Stroke Sculpture for Swan Lake Gardens in Sumter, South Carolina.
Men can enjoy cufflinks, money clips, rings, and lapel pins. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the avid hunter and bird lover. The Quail cufflink and stud set are their best sellers.
