What is the difference between the
green and the polished finish? |
|
The green finish is referred to as
"patina." This is an artificial finish applied to give
the weathervane the appearance of an antique. To some people,
the polished finish is more appealing. After assembly, these
weathervane figures are placed on buffers to give them luster
and shine. |

|
How long will the polished finishes
last? |
|
Within one month the weathervane will
lose its polished look and start to naturally tarnish on its
own. |

strong gusts of wind. Will the weathervane fall apart? |
|

does this mean that the wind is blowing from the north? |
