What are the carvings made out of?

All of my carvings are made from locally sourced logs. These come from trees that have been safely removed by tree surgeons because they were damaged, dead, diseased, or posed a risk, giving new life to wood that would otherwise go to waste. Custom carvings can also be made from a specific type of wood upon request.

What are the delivery options?

Carvings can only be delivered within the UK. I can deliver for a small fee of £5 in the north west of England region, this will be an option based on your delivery postcode. If further afield I will need to arrange delivery by courier. As wood sculptures can be heavy, this will calculated based on the weight of the sculpture, prices start from £5 to £25. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to pick up the item from Stockport, Greater Manchester.

How do I look after my chainsaw carving?

Wood is a natural material and will develop small cracks over time. This is a normal part of its aging process and often adds to the sculpture’s unique character. While I take every effort to minimise cracking during creation, a few simple steps can help preserve your sculpture:

• If displaying outdoors, apply an oil/solvent based wood preservative such as decking oil every 6 months for the first year, then once a year after that.

• Keep the sculpture out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as radiators.

• Avoid leaving your carving exposed to prolonged frost or heavy rain.

• Keeping your sculpture on a well-drained surface, such as gravel or concrete, will help prevent rot.

Although rare, severe cracking can sometimes damage important features of the carving, such as the face. If this happens, repairs may be possible for a small fee.

Thank you again, and please contact me if you have any further questions on caring for your carving.
