Weathervanes
Handcrafted Weathervanes
Each weathervane is handcrafted right here in North Dartmouth — a stainless steel rod and pin, heavy bronze crossarms with directional letters, a decorative copper ball, a support ring, and an updraft resister, finished with whatever design you choose.
A Classic Finishing Touch
Cut, formed, and soldered by hand
From a classic eagle to a design that's entirely your own, every weathervane we build is cut, formed, and soldered by hand in our North Dartmouth workshop — built to turn in the wind for decades on a Cape Cod roofline.
“Every cupola and weathervane is a unique expression of a homeowner's style and personality.”
What's Included
Every weathervane includes
Most weathervanes run 24″–30″ tall with a 24″–36″ span, and are finished in a natural copper patina or a clear coat to hold onto copper's bright shine.
Stainless Steel Rod & Pin
The spindle the whole piece turns on, built to stand up to coastal weather without rusting or seizing.
Bronze Crossarms
Heavy bronze crossarms carry the compass points beneath the design and anchor it to the rod.
Directional Letters
N, S, E, and W letters set beneath the figure so it reads at a glance from the ground.
Decorative Copper Ball
A finishing copper ball sits below the figure on the rod, a classic weathervane detail on its own.
Support Ring & Updraft Resister
Keeps the weathervane balanced and turning smoothly in the wind, year after year.
