John Garret Thew handcrafts each of
his weathervanes in the traditional style, in his workshop in
Connecticut. Each piece is a custom made work of art, created from an original
hand-carved wood mold.
Thew's vanes reflect the work of a true craftsman. He has created
over 9,000 of the world's finest weathervanes. His work is offered
through museums and art galleries throughout the country. Thew was
featured in the 1973 publication "Weathervanes" by Charles
Klamkin. Thew's weathervanes are regarded as the finest in
the world. Each piece is dated, numbered, and signed by the artist.
The copper is left untreated and
will weather naturally. A 26" steel roof mount and solid
Brass cardinal points are included with each weathervane (see note
below). A
32" cupola mount is also available. The copper
is left untreated and will weather naturally.
Each Thew Weathervane is shipped with brass directional letters, the mount of your choice, and comes equipped with a steel ball-bearing with anti fly-away.
