Carvings

Are you interested in a rare, totally unique, one of a kind, piece of Maya art for your home or office?  Pictured below is an example: this is a 5' x 26" x 2" thick piece of solid Honduran mahogany that has been carved into a wall panel.  (Coffee tables are also offered)  Click on the picture to see an enlargement.  It was done exclusively by hand, using only steel chisels and knives. 

Here is how it works: Serious clients may request patterns.  Each pattern will be taken from a photograph of the actual artifact (stelae or altar).  No less than ten motifs will be sent to you.  Once a pattern is chosen, that will be the only carving of its kind!  A price will be established, and after certain conditions are met (prices will vary according to the detail involved), your exclusive carving will begin. 

Because of the time consuming meticulousness of the work, it will take six to nine month for delivery.  The client will pay shipping costs according to the weight of the carving and the distance it will be shipped.  -  Again, due to the time involved, only one such work will be done each year.  The artist's signature and date will be deeply carved on the back of each piece.
