Most of the weahtervnes I build are my own design, with the exception of the Running Horse which was taken from an original one located in rural New Hampshire.  They are made of wood, mainly eastern pine which is light and reacts to even the small change in the wind direction.

Canadian Goose in flight, free hand design.  I was a bit concerned about it not responding to the wind but it worked just fine.  Only issue was the pine I used split below the wing and proved too weak for the project.
This is one of my own designs which really makes a great weathervane, or just for sitting on the mantle or hanging out in from of your business.
This is an unfinished weather vane I modeled after a Sopwith Camel, started construction but never finished it.  I just got put aside and then it became tool cold to finish it, just some still in storage, will finish it as soon as I open up a new shop.
Running horse taken from an original design of a Colonial weather vane that as of the 1930's was still flying on an out building in New Hampshire.  These are great weather vanes and fly exceptionally well, even reacting to small changes in the wind direction.
