MEANING: The bodies remain separate, representing the importance of maintaining our individuality within the relationship, yet the tails intertwine in a heart of love, as our lives join in a journey of love. We fondly call this our “Anti-CoDependency Knot”. This will appeal to Cat Lovers as well as couples building a strong, stable relationship.
SIZE: Full size is approximately 17.5 x 10.75 Inches. The Miniature carving is approximately 9.75 x 6 Inches
THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed and carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12-inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders, etc.), we use no lasers, CNC machines, or computer-operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands and eyes…
We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll and jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools and disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks and gouges from the carving tools, and finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 and then 220 grit finishes the smoothing and polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain and the color.
