Wooden Road Runner Figure Burl Wood

I could be mistaken, but I think this carver wood bird 🐦‍⬛ is burl wood because of how dark it is and the nice shine with no varnishes or finishes other than Old English Wood Treatment. I could be wrong in that. I don't know my wood finishes very well. It has a few scuffs that are not very noticeable that I have tried to capture in photos. The base has a few small chips in it from over the years but no cracks. The lady I got it from claimed to have purchased it in 1956 in Tacoma WA from a farmers market, wood carver. It has nice detail on the tail and head plum to simulate frethers 🪶 . After taking photos I carefully wrapped and packaged 📦 it ready for shipping with plenty of padding.
