Fisherman Weathervane

This fisherman weathervane depicts a classic fishing scene with a man sat in front of a patch of reeds, sheltering under an umbrella, rod extended into the water. It was designed and manufactured by a small family business in the Scottish Borders – we do not outsource to factories in Asia in order to cut costs. 

Though the umbrella is an amusing reminder of the British weather, it actually serves the purpose of adding a little extra surface area to the back of the design for the wind to catch, meaning the weathervane functions perfectly as well as being aesthetically beautiful. The design is cut using a nitrogen shrouded laser. This 21 century technique means the metal is kept cool and prevented from warping, making intricate design work possible.
