SIZE: The Standard size is based on a 10 inch circle, the miniature on a 6 inch circle.

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 finishing the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 and then 220 grit finish the smoothing and polishing. They are dipped twice in Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain and the color.
