The real warmth and beauty of wood was redefined and given new dimension by artisans at RED-MILL Mfg. A unique blend of crushed pecan shells provided the look and feel of real wood, and each sculpture translated into an exact replica of its original carving. After being carefully removed from its mold, craftsmen highlighted and hand lacquered each collectible for added depth and color. Thus, each piece may differ slightly, whether from the subtle stroking of a craftsman's brush or the gentle rub of an artist's cloth. Created in a wide array of categories, RED-MILL collectibles offer universal appeal from the magnificence of the bald eagle to the tender innocence of a small child.
The original Red Mill Mfg. went out of business in 2001 due to the death of one of its owners. At the time of closing they were located in Fishersville, Virginia. These unique figurines are becoming harder and harder to find. There will be no more figurines made by the original Red Mill Mfg. signed by Artist and dated. The original molds went to to a company in China and are being used under Red Mill Crafts. These are not of the same quality as the originals.
