Hand Carving: All the carving is done entirely by hand. The sign of a Master Carver is the ability to finish the carving with the carving tool only, leaving the facets of the tool marks to reflect the light like the brush marks in a fine painting.

Finishes

Stains: A verity of hand blended stains are available. Samples are available

Antiquing: The aging of the surface with distressing and wear marks.

Glazing: The overlaying of a color to the under finish to create a patina which adds depth, while enhancing the antiquing and carving.

Surface Textures

Hand-sanded surface: This will achieve a uniform and more traditional formal look.

Hand-planed surface: This is a time-honored process that requires years of skill and knowledge of the hand plane to achieve. The look is a classic, giving the surface a finished look but with the distinctive mark of being done by hand.

Hand-hewn surface: Achieved by the extremely time consuming process of hand carving the entire surface area with great skill and patience. The look is rich in texture and has a radiant depth giving the piece a truly unique look and feel.
