- Figureheads (& other carvings) -

Inspired by historic pieces or just good design: we present our solid wood, new production hand-carved figureheads and sea life carvings.
 
If an item is available, it will read "available" under the photo; otherwise it has been sold.

Sold items remain pictured to show the variety and styles of pieces we have carried in the past and, depending on availability, may carry again.

Our hand carved, artisan made pieces are unique and made one at a time (i.e. not mass produced).  It is rare to have two pieces exactly the same and it is common to find blemishes
Suar wood is carved when wet - this means that checking (non structural cracks in the surface of the wood) is common and may continue as a piece is moved from a location with high humidity (where we are located) to one of low humidity. 
Albesia wood is lightweight, checks easily and absorbs - does not resist - moisture.
These carvings are inspired by pieces that are weathered and worn and should not be expected to be a piece of perfection but a piece of handcrafted art, including distressed finishes.  Not intended for marine or exterior use.
