The familiar sight of Mallard Duck, in "V" formation, gliding on the horizon heralds the changing seasons across our land, as surely as the date on a calendar.
Our rustic Mallard Duck MAILBOX will lend that same warm, country welcome to your home.
Our Mallard Duck MAILBOX is carved and sculpted by hand out of cedar to create the
realistic lines and texture that brings it to life.
Construction starts with a standard U.S. Post Office approved mailbox, around
which we construct a cage made out of exterior B.C. plywood. Then we cover the
plywood with layers of Western Cedar. This gives the textured layered look of
our Mallard Duck MAILBOX. The door and back are also covered in cedar for a finished
look. A wooden base plate is added to the bottom for post mounting.
After construction, our Mallard Duck is sent to the spray booth, to be covered
inside and out with a protective layer of exterior paint. Then, he moves on to
the art studio, where our artists add their own mix of realistic colors and
details to bring him to life. We use only the finest exterior acrylic enamel in
our painting. And as a final step, we add multiple coats of exterior
polyurethane as a protective layer.
This method of layered, cedar construction and painting gives our Mallard Duck
MAILBOX the strength and durability to withstand the elements for years to
come. .
