Questions
Before you commission
How long does a commission take?
It depends on the size and the detail in your photo. A large piece can take more than 100 hours of carving alone. We confirm the timeline before you order. Need it for a date? Tell us first.
What if I don’t like the sketch?
We revise it until you’re happy. Carving only starts after your approval, because a cut in the wood cannot be undone.
Can you combine several photos?
Yes. Send a photo of each person, pet or place and we will compose them into one scene for you to approve.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Every piece is framed, packed with corner protection and shipped insured, with tracking from our studio to your door.
One photo is all it takes
A piece that lasts longer than the photo.
Choose your piece and upload a photo. You will see the sketch on the panel before a single line is carved.
