FAQs
What type of wood is used for these carvings?
The carvings are fashioned from offcuts of Chinaberry (Jempinis) and Hibiscus trunks.
Can this carving be left outside year-round?
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather can affect the wood. We recommend occasional maintenance and potentially applying a sealant to prolong its life and appearance.
Are the carvings weatherproof?
The wood is naturally durable, but it is not inherently weatherproof. Protection from extreme weather, direct prolonged sunlight, and excessive moisture is advised for longevity.
Will my carving look exactly like the picture?
Due to the natural materials and handcrafted nature, each carving will have unique variations in grain, color, and detail, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
How should I clean the carving?
For indoor use, dust with a dry cloth; for a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For outdoor use, a gentle wipe-down or soft brush is recommended, with periodic sealant application.
What are the dimensions of the carving?
Dimensions can vary slightly as these are handcrafted items made from natural trunk offcuts.
Is the carving treated with any finish?
The carvings are typically finished to enhance their natural appearance, but for extended outdoor use, applying an additional clear wood sealant is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears dry or faded.
Apply a clear, outdoor-grade wood sealant or a furniture polish specifically designed for wood to restore moisture and color. For outdoor pieces, this may be needed annually.
Minor surface imperfections or cracks.
Small cracks or imperfections are natural characteristics of wood. For aesthetic preference, you can gently fill very minor cracks with a wood putty that matches the color, or leave them as part of the natural charm.
Carving feels unstable.
Ensure the carving is placed on a flat, level surface. If outdoors or in a windy location, consider using a small amount of adhesive putty or placing heavier objects around its base for added stability.
