A wood carving is a great addition to any home or office to add some element of custom décor to the area. The best thing about a wood carving is that the carving can be handpicked as well as carved uniquely for you. If you go to a chainsaw wood carving artist they can talk to you about what some of your favorite things are. You can choose from your favorite animal like an owl, dog, bear and much more. Once you have chosen the piece of art for you, having a space for it is important. Some people choose to have the art out in the elements while others want to have their art in the home. Whatever you choose you need to be prepared to care for your wood carving so that it will last and be something you can keep forever.
Carve Me A Bear! Chainsaw Carvings Offers Tips & On How To Care For Your Wood Carving
Can You Keep the Wood from Cracking When Drying?: When you go have a piece of art that is carved by a chainsaw it is often done from a whole piece of wood. The wood is a part of the tree trunk that is left whole. It also can be a stump that is in the yard and left to have carved. Whatever it is, the wood is still going to act like wood as it slowly dries out. If you have ever had a firewood pile outside you know that the wood gets better the longer it dries. This process can actually take some time and as it does the wood naturally cracks and has some splits. The wood is going to do that after it has been carved as well. The carver often can layout the wood so that it only has minor cracks. When the cracks slowly appear it is best to just go with it because there is not much you can do about the wood as it dries out. And besides, it just makes your carving that more unique!
Where Do You Plan to Display Your Carving?: The piece of art is something that can be placed in or out of a home or office. Although you can place the item anywhere it is best to tell the artist where you plan to have it. They may finish the piece differently if they know that you are placing it outdoors as opposed to in the house. Inside or out you want to be cautious of what surface you are placing it on. The varnish, paint or the natural moisture of the wood can still seep out. If you have the art on your carpet it can leave a mark. It is best to place a plastic mat to ensure it does not cause any damage. Your outdoor surfaces are easier to clean if the wood does leave a mark. Avoid direct sunlight as well when choosing placement.
