Behind the Scenes
From Wood to Art
Every carving is one of a kind, you will never find another one like it. It all begins with an idea and then is carefully executed by Richard Hamilton.
Having the knowledge to carefully execute every carving with numerous tools and having an Artistic ability to truly deliver a wonderful work of Art, is why so many customers have trusted RLH Wood Sculptures to carve their Custom Order.
There are many steps in completing a carving. A chainsaw is used to rough out the carving. Detail is done with many tools including, angle grinders, orbitals, hand chisels, dremels, propane, etc. Finally treatment is applied.
