Crane Statues
A Don Drumm original, this sculptural pair captures the quiet grace and presence of preening and watchful cranes. Hand-forged in Durham, NC, each statue stands with intention—whether displayed alone or as a duo, designed to move in harmony.
Crafted in solid steel and built to weather time and the elements, these cranes bring a sense of balance and strength to gardens, walkways, or water’s edge.
Handcrafted, Built to Last
Forged in Durham, NC nearly 30 years ago, we’re still doing things the way they should be done: handcrafted, built to last. We don't just crank stuff out; we put our sweat and skill into every piece we make. Crafting products that withstand the demand of salt, wind, and sun, and other forces of nature like rogue squirrels and toddlers with melting ice cream cones.
Why "Cricket Forge"?
Many cultures view the presence of a cricket in the household as a symbol of good luck, where the cricket is the bearer of wealth, companionship, and happiness. The “Cricket on the hearth” scenario is usually experienced in colder months, where crickets often seek warmth indoors, sometimes on or near a fireplace. The “Forge,” aspect is in reference to the crickets that tend to hang around the recently-used blacksmith forges in the Cricket Forge shop.
