A Pair of Plovers

- in Stained GlassLeave a Comment on A Pair of Plovers

As a followup to the Piping Plovers piece, this Pair of Plovers builds on the Plovers at the beach theme.

These Plovers are paired with Maple and Padauk wood accents, bringing together elements of glass and wood to enhance any bookshelf in which they’re displayed.

These bookends stand roughly 8″ tall & wide and about 4″ deep. They are finished with a polyurethane coating for a deep, smooth to the touch finish.

Next up on this same approach is a pair of lighthouses, standing guard over the books they’re holding.
