Custom, commissioned and personally commissioned orders are my favorite (from my salvaged wood or yours)! It is exciting to combine my creativity with your special interests (and creativity) and know the final product will be especially dear to you. Just email or call and describe what you want. I may even have some "raw" items and/or some "almost ready" items that interest you. We can explore the items via Zoom if you wish. Custom orders are exciting! I'd be happy to work with you. Also, unless the custom item has something about it that is very different from what someone else may want, my normal return policy is available. Let's talk about what you want.

Not all art items require the same care. See the specific item’s "Description" for its care in case it varies from the following. In general, the coatings I use to protect my art vary based on wood species and their expected use. However, most items are protected with many coatings of a durable, satin, low reflection oil-based varnish (except the areas that may come in contact with food, whose final coat is a usually a food-safe wax or oil). After the sealing coat, I apply a special blend of beeswax, Brazilian carnauba wax, mineral oil, and orange oil.
1. Most items’ beauty is best protected by dusting with a soft vacuum brush and, for some, buffing with my recommended wax.
2. As for all wood art, do NOT display it in direct sun. Strong light fades rich colors (though some colors may change over time).
3. Display away from chemicals, moisture, and high heat.
4. Wood for each item was cured until it reached a moisture content like most homes. Holes and natural cracks have either been filled or incorporated into the sculpture's design. Occasionally, over time, cracks may appear or change since home and office humidity levels vary considerably.
5. Questions? Please email me: rcpaulson@msn.com.

Each art item's size is listed and quite accurate but may vary slightly (rarely more than half an inch difference, depending in part on how irregular the piece is). If exact size is critical, feel free to contact me and I can verify the accuracy of what I've listed.
