WOOD CARE
Here are some suggestions to
keep your new bear or moose in good condition. First of all, remember, wood
does crack. Here are some suggestions to minimize problems. Leave carving out
of direct sunlight. Keep it away from heat sources such as a fireplace or
baseboard heater. Because the wood may still be slightly damp, give it a month
or so to totally dry out. Keep your critter out of standing water or a watered
surface/garden. This prevents wood from rotting. When the weather is extremely
cold or extremely hot, keep your carving inside. Your carving has already
received a high quality finish. Somewhere down the road, if you need to
re-varnish, use a spar varnish. You may need to sand the carving lightly with
150 grit sandpaper first. Hope these suggestions help you enjoy your bear or
moose for many years to come.

Many of these woodworking
products use a method called Intarsia.
Intarsia is something
hand-made from a variety of different woods all
shaped, sanded, fitted & finished with an indoor/outdoor varnish.
(A hand-rubbed, rustic finish is also available.) It's a time consuming
process but yields beautiful results. On the fish intarsia, your choice of
salmon or
large mouth bass. Because of the time it takes, we appreciate your
patience in allowing
4-6 weeks for shipping. These
intarsia pieces are crafted by Barry Gilfilen. Thank you!
