Carved by hand from natural bamboo root, each Puffin features the bird's signature bright beak. Whether in a fisherman's hat, a captain's cap, or bravely bare-headed, each DCUK has hand-painted details. The sailing can be pretty rough out on the Atlantic, but our puffins don't seem to mind. A quick check of the weather forecast, and off each of them flies, bringing home fish for admiring pufflings. Puffin CAPTAIN At a glance Material: Wood, bamboo, and resin Style: Captain Measurements 8.5" x 4" x 8" This listing is for 1 piece, the Captain (other pieces can be purchased apart) Brand: DCUK Heads are carefully carved from teak, with slightly different natural colors each time Grain marking on the sculpted root creates a lovely feathered effect on the body Eye-catching knots and dark spots in the bamboo root add even more uniqueness Made in Indonesia Unused, undamaged Brand new with tags attached DCUK DCUK has a proud tradition of working with Indonesian partners using traditional handcrafting and painting skills for over 20 years to create something special. All DCUK characters are individually hand-carved from the roots of bamboo. After travelling inside one of our shipping containers, you may find a light residue on the surface of a duck. If this happens, it can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. Occasionally, there can also be some discoloration on the surface of the DCUK pin. This can usually be quickly removed by rubbing with a mild abrasive. These factors do not affect the beauty of the finished gift. For many DCUK customers and collectors, the unique markings and natural quirks of bamboo root are actually part of the enduring charm of owning a crafted character. How wonderful is that?
