Woodland Winter Cardinal Metal Garden Stake | Steel Bird on Pine Branch

In the hush after a snowfall, a cardinal settles on a pine branch while warm light spills from the cabin windows. The woods are still, the porch lantern is glowing, and this little bird looks perfectly content to keep watch over winter.

Our Woodland Winter Cardinal Metal Garden Stake brings that quiet forest feeling to winter porch planters, flower beds, and garden paths. A crested cardinal with a long tail perches on a pine branch with sprays of needles, while open eye and wing details let the surrounding scenery show through the steel.

A little winter woodland story for your garden

Nestle him into a porch pot of gathered greens, pinecones, and winter berries, or let him keep company with a lantern beside an old cabin door. His woodland design feels at home through Christmas and the quiet winter weeks that follow, and he is just as lovely among garden flowers when spring returns. A thoughtful gift for bird lovers, gardeners, and anyone who treasures a little woodland company on a snowy day.

Choose your finish

Raw: Bare, unsealed steel with its natural mill character. Exposure to air, rain, and humidity will gradually develop rust and patina. Steel color and surface markings may vary.

Rusted: Our signature hand-started finish is genuine rust, begun in our shop using vinegar, peroxide, and salt. Each piece develops its own earthy tones because the steel's surface and grain vary. It is unsealed and will continue rusting and changing over time. Rust may transfer to your hands or the surfaces it touches.

Production & shipping

Your cardinal is cut, cleaned, welded, and finished for your order. Please allow 7–10 business days for production before shipment. Free UPS Ground shipping and your chosen finish are included in the $55 price. Tracking is provided when your order ships.

Please note

No two pieces will rust or age exactly alike. The lifestyle image uses AI-assisted styling to show display inspiration; surrounding plants, containers, and decorations are not included. Your cardinal is cut from flat steel. Please use the stated measurements when planning your display.
