Description
This is a custom-commissioned weathervane concept for one of my dad's customers (he builds log homes ), in which they requested to have depicted the types of exotic animals, fish and livestock they raise on their ranch (wapiti, whitetail, longhorns and bass), the Texas A&M college logo, their three daughters' portraits and the girls' initials, as well as the initials of the parents. I myself decided to add the types of trees that grow on their land (oak and pine), the indian arrow and the state of Texas outline. They also requested that their daughters' initials be placed where the directional letters would normally go, with the exception of "N", which will still stand for "North". (Edit: I've posted photos of the final crafted piece and its installation on the cupola of the log gazebo for which it was intended; see here and here . I've also designed matching wall sconces and a circular metal wall mounting .)

Note: The two separate directional arms with the animals/branches will be welded together at the "T" logo, making a plus (+) shape where both "T"s are welded together (there will be a welding line going right up through the middle of the "T", which is not shown in the drawing). The ends of the oak and pine branches will be welded to the pole/shaft at slightly different levels, but the weld of the "T" will be exactly aligned.
