How your piece is made

1

Rough cut & carving

Your order goes to our partner artisans, who select the boards, cut and carve the piece by hand - about 7 to 10 days.

2

You approve the photo

Before the final finish we send you photos of your actual piece. Nothing moves forward until you say it is right.

3

Finish, crate, ship

We oil or lacquer the wood, crate it carefully and ship it free by freight - usually about 2 weeks.
