Add a touch of whimsical folk art to your holiday table or cabin decor with this vintage hand-carved goose nutcracker. Expertly crafted in the Philippines, this piece features a Canadian Goose with a distinct black and white painted head and a rich, natural wood neck that serves as a powerful lever.
"‹The goose is hinged to a solid wood "catch-all" box, designed to hold whole nuts and collect shells as you work. The internal wooden anvil provides a sturdy base for cracking. This is a functional conversation piece that doubles as rustic table decor.
