Want to know how to preserve your carving in order to get the most enjoyment out of it?
Here we will provide a few tips on just that!
The Wooden Medium
The Wooden Medium
Wood is a remarkable natural material found in the stems and roots of trees, serving as a conduit for water and nutrients. Whether softwood or hardwood, sapwood or heartwood, wood's structure supports the tree’s growth and strength. When a tree is cut, the moisture within the wood begins to evaporate, causing the fibers to harden and strengthen. This transformation makes wood a durable and versatile resource.
For thousands of years, wood has been used in construction, tools, and art. Its natural strength, ease of shaping, and unique beauty make it ideal for everything from homes and furniture to intricate carvings. Even today, wood remains a sustainable, renewable material that continues to be essential across cultures and industries.

The Crackle Effect
The Crackle Effect
Cracking and splitting is a natural effect of wood. It is the result of the fibrous material losing moisture. We work with both dry and fresh logs for our carvings, but no matter how seasoned a log is, it can still hold a bit of moisture. Our goal is to provide you with a carving with the least amount of cracks. If your carving has a large amount of cracks or a decent size one, we will be happy to touch it up for you!
The Pine Boar Beetle
The Pine Boar Beetle
The longer wood sits after being cut, the more likely it will become home to bugs like beetles or ants. They boar holes in the wood to lay their young and essentially eat their way out! The best way to evict these guys is with any household insect killer. We also use WD-40 and spray right in the holes.
Preservatives
Preservatives
The best way to ensure a carving lasts as long as possible, is to apply a preservative. we recommend spar urethane. It comes in a spray or brush on version. The urethane soaks into the pores of the wood, keeps them bound together for longer, and provides protection from natural elements. Over time, the urethane does weather or dry and a new coat needs to be applied.
