WOOD – A NATURAL MATERIAL
Cracking in wood is a normal and natural process, and cannot be avoided. Whilst we try to incorporate any existing cracks into our designs, we also cut relief cracks on the undersides of pieces where possible (to encourage cracking on the underside). However, some cracking may occur after purchasing a sculpture. Over time, the cracks become part of the intrinsic look and feel of each hand-carved piece and add another level of character and age to the sculpture.
Each sculpture is sold with advice on its care and maintenance in order to prolong the longevity of the piece. Your piece will last longer (not indefinitely) if you adhere to these maintenance instructions.
