Care for your carving: Cedar/Redwood is specifically chosen for its pest and mildew-resistant features and is a durable wood that will stand the test of time when properly taken care of. Any sculptures that will be out in the elements are recommended to have a protective layer applied seasonally to ensure optimal longevity. Just as a deck or other wood features, the material you choose is subject to your desired finish look and specific climate concerns. If you plan to use your carving inside, you do not need to worry about this step. The sealer used by the carver is listed on the website with a link for quick access.
Technique: Rough chainsaw cut sculpting, grinder techniques to smooth and define, and torched (Shou Sugi Ban) to accent features. Some pieces. may come pre-sealed with Man-O-War Spar Varnish, sprayed sealer, raw/unsealed, or hand-painted with spray sealed.
