Welcome,
I just checked out your site--do you do much wood carving? I saw mostly stone and bone carving.

Out of curosity, do you do more power carving or hand carving? I bet you've got some wonderful hardwoods to play with!

I'm assuming that you do NOT carve these items but are trying to mechandise them! (buying wholesale and selling retail) Am I correct? Big Al

Hi Big Al,

I do not carve them myself. I buy the wood carvings, apply sand paper to smoothen them and do the finishing i.e. painting and apply furnish.

Hi Bob,

We do hand carving not power carving. I will be posting more animal photos next week. Thanks

Peace & Joy
