Decorative
Carvings
Exceptional quality and attention to detail.
Genuine Wood Hand Carvings offer the beauty and design of
traditional and original wood carvings produced by Master Hand Carvers at an
affordable price.
These hand carvings are denoted by an HC before the part # and
produced from Limewood or Lindenwood, a wood that has been used for centuries
by master carvers. It carves "like butter", creating sharp details and smooth
surfaces. For amazing interior design results, these Genuine Wood Hand Carvings
can be used alone or combined to create original cabinetry, door mantles,
fireplace mantles, and ceiling and wall panels. All 'C' part #'s are carvings
that are produced by machine.
Please note all sizes are approximate and are stated by Width
x Height x Depth (or thickness).
Finishing: You should consult your paint dealer for the finish
systems best suited for use in your region. We recommend that you select top
quality paint.
1. Stain-and-Clear
Finish:
a. The first coat should be a stain-and-sealer, which will both color and seal
the surface. Choose an alkyd
resin-based. Do not alter or thin. Never use a lacquer-based toner or any other
lacquer-based finish.
b. The second coat may be a solvent-borne (oil-based, alkyd resin-based,
polyurethane resin-based) or water-borne (latex resin-based) clear finish
unaltered. Be sure this coat is compatible with the first coat.
2. Paint Finish:
Seal products with a quality oil-based primer and no fewer than two topcoats of
a solvent-based or latex resin-based paint, unaltered/unthinned.
3. All top, bottom and
side edges must be coated with each and every coat that is applied to
the face surfaces. All surfaces must be treated equally to assure
uniform moisture exposure dimensional control.
