3D Life-Size Pelican Wood Pattern

Pelicans, those huge stocky seabirds with oversized bills and stretchy throats, populate our ocean fronts today but were on the brink of extinction not so long ago.

Now you don’t have to live by an ocean to have one of these comically elegant birds hanging around. You can make our 3D life-size Pelican no matter where you live.

Make him from layers of 3/4″ and 1-1/2″ thick wood and our Parts Kit. Our full size pattern includes complete cutting, shaping, assembly and painting instructions. (29″ tall)
