My work is labor intensive to produce and this is reflected in my prices. I produce approximately one piece per month, with my largest pieces taking up to three months and my smallest pieces taking me a week to produce.
Pricing is based on size and detail of the finished piece.
The majority of my sales are of pieces I have done for myself and then sell. However, I also produce a limited number of commissions per year. Advantages of buying an already made carving- Resale value may possibly be higher at some point in the future, because you have bought a piece on a theme that the artist has become known for. What you see is what you get - especially in regard to colors. The piece is immediately available whereas with a commission you may have to wait a number of months.
