{"product_id":"primitive-crow-metal-porch-leaner","title":"Primitive Crow Metal Porch Leaner","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the edge of a sleepy woodland, a crow keeps watch beneath a crescent moon. Pinecones hang overhead, a little primitive star dangles from a branch, and evergreens gather below like the beginning of an old winter tale. Our Primitive Crow Metal Porch Leaner brings that quiet, slightly mysterious charm to your doorstep—right at home beside a weathered rocker and a favorite wool blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour piece at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 48” tall × 10” wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 14- or 16-gauge steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish choices: Raw, Rusted, or Flat Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $190, including your chosen finish and free shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: Four pinholes, one in each corner, for hanging or mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: No mounting or hanging hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction: Handmade to order in 7–10 business days; carrier transit time is additional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little woodland folklore for your porch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perched crow anchors this detailed design, surrounded by pine branches, pinecones, berry sprigs, a crescent moon, scattered stars, and small evergreen trees. A hanging five-point star adds an old-fashioned primitive touch, while the snowy woodland shapes give the scene its winter character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe negative spaces are genuine openings cut through the steel—not white paint or a backing panel. Your wall or the scenery behind the piece shows through those openings, changing its appearance with the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLean it beside your front door, mount it near an entry bench, or hang it on a covered porch using your own suitable hardware. Pair it with evergreen planters, pinecones, lanterns, and homespun textiles for a cozy winter welcome. Crow lovers may enjoy keeping its moonlit woodland spirit on display long after the holiday greenery comes down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s a natural fit for primitive décor collectors, cottage and cabin decorators, bird lovers, and anyone drawn to the quieter, more enchanting side of the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaw\u003cbr\u003eRaw means steel as it comes from the steel mill. Your piece is cleaned before shipment but is otherwise unfinished and unsealed. It will naturally oxidize and develop rust or patina over time. Humidity, weather, handling, atmosphere, and display location all influence how quickly it ages and how that patina looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRusted — The Dirt Road Gardener signature hand-rusted finish\u003cbr\u003eOur Rusted finish is genuine rust—not paint, faux rust, powder coating, or a printed finish. We begin the rusting process by hand using ordinary household ingredients, including vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe intentionally leave the steel unsealed so it can continue aging naturally and developing a deeper patina. Variations in color, texture, and rust pattern are expected and give each piece its own weathered character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnsealed rust may transfer to hands, clothing, walls, flooring, furniture, or other surfaces it contacts. Please consider surrounding surfaces when deciding where to display it. If you love the finish as it arrives and want to slow further oxidation, you may choose to apply an appropriate clear protective coating after receiving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat Black\u003cbr\u003eFlat Black gives the crow and woodland details a crisp, dark silhouette—a lovely choice for those who favor simple contrast and traditional primitive styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade for you, shipped with care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery porch leaner is handmade to order.
