I gave this to my wife for our anniversary. She is a big hummingbird fan and absolutely loves it. She thinks it is beautiful and was struck by the details. She also loved the wrapping paper.

Hummingbirds are my absolute favorite. They are living on my windowsill and I couldn't be happier about them. I enjoy looking them everyday. I moved to a different area in the world and here are no hummingbirds - this is the next best thing to the real ones. You have to careful when you dust them - the birds are loose and fell off easily - so far nothing serious have happend to them. I am a little bit clumsy sometimes and I hope I will never drop them.

I initially bought this and "Hummingbird Joy" for myself, but when a friend came over and saw them, she fell in love with them, so I decided to give them to her for her birthday in August. She'll be so surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if she started crying. I then ordered another "Nesting Bird" for myself. These carvings are beautiful with great attention to detail. I love them! Such talent!

This sculpture was delivered much quicker than I had thought it might arrive. When I opened it, I was amazed! Pictures of the hummer were nice, but the real item was fantastic! To say I am pleased with it is the understatement of the evening!!

Intricate piece. Very nice.

Excellent depiction of those birds that flit and fly with energy and enthusiasm. We have two feeders and it is great to have a wooden sculpture reminding us of our feathered friends.
I





this is a lovely addition to my owl collection
J





I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with this little guy when I bought him, but I knew he needed to be a part of my home. When he arrived he was a bit different from what was pictured. The base in mine is more of a burst opposed to a little bowl. I'm sure the artist was following the wood in his creation. I love this little owl's uniqueness. It turned out to be absolutely beautiful. This owl found the perfect spot in my home.
E





It's a very handsome carving in beautiful red wood.
K





Exceptional craftmanship
D





The carving is realistic. The hummingbird appears to be actually flying. A great piece of art.
E





Third purchase - this is my third purchase of this product because it’s absolutely beautiful in detail and so unique! I have one for myself and two I have given as a gift which I highly recommend.
R





The carving on this piece is beautiful. It truly looks like the hummingbird is suspended in air. People who visit my home are always commenting on how unique and beautiful this carving is.
M





Very powerful carving. You can feel the energy emitting from the scuplture.
J





This piece of art is simply wonderful. It is beautiful on my mantle with other art pieces.
K





Very beautiful product I would recommend to anyone that enjoy humming birds
G





This "Lone Owl" wood figurine was purchased as a gift for a very dear friend of mine who, thanks to me, collects Owls but I never expected it to be so exquisite! The beauty in the natural formation of the wood base is only surpassed by the skill of the artist, Yudi Suardi in designing and carving the Owl. The beauty moved me to tears and I know that this is going to be such a wonderful gift for my wonderful friend. I will be purchasing more of Mr. Suardi's work in the future.
D





Such detail...just love his scultptures !!!!
D





gorgeous !!!!
R

E





My husband, an avid owl collector, loved this sculpture!
P





This Mushroom sculpture is a little treasure. To know it is handmade makes it truly special.
D





An excellent choice of what would normally be scrap wood. It works well. I would suggest that the birds be wrapped separately when shipped because of their beaks being so delicate.
M





I appreciate the beauty and fine craftsmanship of this item. I also love birds, especially owls. The piece has become a cherished work of art in my home.
A





I love working with wood and can appreciate someone else's skill in this craft. I also looked at some of Yudi's other carvings and wish that I could buy more.

Was a gift. He loves it! Beautiful work!

My 8 year old grandson went hunting this year for the first time. He was so disappointed that he missed his first time. I ordered this for him for his glasses on his bedside table. While waiting on this to arrive as a Christmas gift, my grandson shot a button buck (I guess that's what it is called). He was almost as excited to get this as he was when he finally shot his deer.
J





I am very pleased with this delicate, hovering hummingbird. The workmanship is superb. It will be a gift for a special friend who collects hummingbirds. I will be proud to give it to her and share with her information about where it came from the artist who created it.
J





I bought this item to display in my home and I am so pleased with the superb workmanship. I look at it everyday and I am so happy with my purchase.

It is so wonderfully carved, it looks like it is just waiting to fly away.
E





It is a beautifully carved figurine of an owl. I love it.
B





I bought two, one for my grandad and one for my music teacher at Christmas. They are excellent quality. Of course being hand-carved they look slightly different to each other.I can't think of a better gift, Thankyou for making them.
R





This lovely hummingbird is a birthday gift for a dear friend. Her birthday is in a few weeks. Since we both love "hummers" I know she will love this one as much as I did when I chose it for her.

I totally fell in love with art piece. Just to look at it and one feels the hummingbird in motion. This piece is breathtaking. And the medium used is extraordinary.

My husband checked out the work and could not stop with the compliments. He insisted that we had to keep one for our home and if necessary could purchase again when needed. Thank you.

This is quite nice & hopefully enjoyed by the receiver..as he collects lions!

R





My Wife Loves them she put them on her dresser so can see them everyday
S





A super nice wood carving -such talent.

It’s so easy to shop online and pick things up on a whim, and after a few weeks pass, you wonder why you thought you had to have a particular item. Not so with this incredible sculpture. This is a piece I will never regret buying, or give away down the road. I will treasure it always. The artisan has captured the essence of these magnificent creatures—their elegance and their grace—in the smoothness of their fluid bodies and in the incredibly realistic way their heads, fins and tails are oriented and appear to be borne up by the water of an imaginary ocean. The coral sculpture beneath serves as a reference point for the dolphins—each leading and following simultaneously. The coral appears to ruffle as their sleek bodies cut through the water above. It is even more beautiful in person, if that’s possible. This sweet sculpture captures both the eye and the heart.
D





I received this today and I'm debating about ordering another one. Just absolutely beautiful. Thank you . I will enjoy it for years

This item looks like the picture and is beautifully done.I purchased for my husband and he thinks it's great. It is on display in his study.
C





This little sculpture makes me happy. It is as described and unique. The hand-crafted detail on the wrapping is as charming as the sculpture itself.
C





Excellent workmanship, however the birds were placed very differently on the wood base. Instead of being at a distinct angle to each other(as in the picture) they are sitting side by, not nearly attractive. It was a gift and I was disappointed.
C





I own several of his work and enjoy them to the fullest!
M





A beautiful piece of art. As I am a zoologist interested in frogs, it is especially meaningful. Also my father first introduced me to tree frogs so they are really part of my heritage,

"I agree with Albert Einstein. He said, 'Imagination is more important that knowledge.' This inspires me so much that I'm always thinking about what new things I can do.
Â
"My father is a wood sculptor. He taught me how to choose good woods, carve and finish them.
Â
"Sadly, the young generation today rarely wants to carry on with Bali's sculpture traditions. This is why I was especially interested in learning.
Â
"Yes, we do some traditional Balinese carvings and most are still created manually with a bit of help from hand tools. Our materials are obtained from several areas in Bali.
Â
"The lives of Balinese people can be hectic with religious ceremonies throughout the year. So many people don't have enough time to take an office job. Wood carving can provide an income with flexible working hours and can be done at home.
Â
"I use woods like suar, jempinis, and benalu wood, which can be obtained from local timber traders. Benalu was not used in sculptures but only as firewood. But I saw the enormous potential in this wood because of its unique and fascinating shapes — no two pieces are ever identical. So I incorporate it into my work.
Â
"My childhood was a happy time for me. I have a family who always supported me. My father was a sculptor and taught me to craft things with my own hands, so I became a man full of curiosity about how to make new things. My mother is a religious teacher and taught me how to behave toward people and nature.
Â
"In school, I majored in mathematics education. Once when I was on my way to teach in a classroom, my pants suddenly ripped from top to bottom. I panicked and wanted to go home to change but class was starting in five minutes. To go home, I'd have to go through the senior teachers and students on campus. After quickly considering it all, I used a stapler to hold my pants together but it was the most embarrassing experience in my life!" My friends and family describe me as a person with lots of ideas. I work very hard. I always want something new in my life but I don't like to make quick decisions. I have to think before deciding.
Â
"In the beginning when I first started carving wood, many people thought that a bachelor like me should be a government employee or an office worker. But I want to prove that I can succeed in my father's art. I want to change the public's view and show them that success is not only achieved with office work.
Â
"Honestly, I am inspired by my surroundings, from animals and trees to our Balinese culture. My designs are different because I combine benalu wood with other shapes that make teach image unique.
Â
"I am not married yet. If in the future I have children, my hope is that my children learn to be responsible for themselves and I'd want them to continue with my workshop. I think they will because they'll be born and raised in Bali and will want to make sure their culture is preserved."
