MEANING: The design for this wood carving is adapted from a Celtic wedding band knot. The Panel consists of one line repeating the knot 4 times. In Celtic lore, a knot from one line evokes the qualities of eternity and endless; the number four is often viewed as representing the seasons. Endless devotion through the seasons of your relationship is conveyed in this Matrimonial Panel.
A wonderful wedding or anniversary gift.
SIZE: The standard carving is 10.75 inch by 14 Inches and the miniature is 6 Inches by 7.75 Inches.
AS A CABINET: The door is carved from a single piece of western red cedar. The cedar allows the cabinet to be used in warm, moist places and will work as a bathroom medicine cabinet or in the kitchen as a spice rack.
The back of the cabinet is keyholed for hanging on the wall, the bottom is smooth and edges rounded for being placed on a table top. The cabinet can be ordered with 1 or 2 shelves and hinged on the left or right.
The overall cabinet measurement will be approximately 12 3/4" wide, and 5 1/4" deep. The height measurement will vary but averages 14" high. The shelf depth is 3". If you are interested in deeper shelves or a different height, please contact for custom order.
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.

Beautiful Work!
For years, I’ve admired Signs of Spirit’s display at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, and it was my absolute joy to support them during the challenges of 2020. The web photos don’t do justice to the beauty of their work, and I am so pleased with my order. I can’t wait to give it as a gift to my better half!
