For onsite sculptures and deliveries, we regularly work with clients in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, including Pierce, King, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. For an additional travel fee, we work with clients outside these areas. We also ship thoughout the US on a case by case basis.

Absolutely! We love visitors. However, we do ask that you call, email, or text ahead of time, because we aren’t always on location. Don’t be deterred by this, though. We aren’t a pretentious “appointment only” gallery. We’d truly like to see you, even if you aren’t committed to purchasing a sculpture. Same-day calls are okay!

Please contact us by phone or email. Tomas or Allison will get back to you within 48 hours to discuss your project. If you already have a vision for a sculpture, we’ll start there. If you aren’t sure what you want, that’s fine, too. Tomas can work with you to come up with an idea.

Absolutely! We welcome visitors we often have art for sale. Take a look at our Art for Sale page to see our available selection. You can purchase online for curbside pickup at the studio. Or make an appointment to see the artwork in person before you commit.

A basic rendering is provided when necessary. If a client requests multiple renderings, the client will be charged between $125-$250 per rendering, depending on the complexity.

If a sculpture is cared for according to our instructions, it will last several hundred years. This is true for wood, stone and metal alike. That being said, sculptures that are housed outdoors will be affected by the elements. We consider this an advantage, as the patina that develops on metal and wood can be quite beautiful, and hairline cracks on a tree stump sculpture give it character that reminds us of the nature from which it came.

In short, yes. We take all due care to minimize cracking by using the highest quality materials and techniques, but wood is a living medium. As such, some cracking is inevitable and unavoidable. Any wood sculptor who tells you otherwise is misrepresenting their work. We hope that our clients consider small cracks that appear in their sculptures to be a testament to the natural world from which the material came, and an enhancement of the beauty of the work as it ages.

No, it does not.

The steps are:

1. Take a picture of the tree, preferably with surrounding landscape and something next to it for size reference (a person, house or garage nearby.)

2. Contact us to start the process. We’ll ask you to send the picture, as well as any other information you have about the tree species and health, and any ideas you have about the design for your sculpture. It’s totally okay if you don’t know about the tree species, or what design you’d like. We work collaboratively with you to design the right tree stump art to fit your space. But if you already know what you want, by all means let us know in that first email!

3. Schedule an on-site estimate. At this time, Tomas will examine the tree and discuss design options. If you know what type of sculpture you want, he is usually able to give you a firm price quote at the time of his visit. Estimates are always at no charge.

4. Sign a contract and let’s get started!

That’s okay! It is actually easier (and often a little less expensive) for Tomas to use a log from his own supply. He can create a vertical “tree stump” style sculpture at his studio, the deliver it and mount it in your yard.

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this. Cost varies considerably depending on the size and complexity of a sculpture, as well as the species of wood and accessibility of the tree. The good news is, once you decide on a final design, we give you a firm price quote, so there are never any surprises. (All price quotes are valid for three months.)

Absolutely. As long as a tree stump is healthy, we can create a sculpture several years after it’s cut down. That being said, if you haven’t yet cut it down, you are in an ideal situation and can do a few things to best prepare:

1. Ask the tree service to leave a twelve foot stump. This will give you plenty of room to work with.

2. Once the tree is down, seal the cut with a layer of ordinary house paint. This will keep the wood in the best shape possible.

As with price, this answer varies greatly depending on size, complexity and wood species. Some sculptures take a few days to complete, while others take several weeks. We do our best to give you an accurate timeline for completion.

Yep. Sculpting in the rain is just part of being a northwest-based artist. We can build a temporary shelter above scaffolding. Tomas even works when there is snow on the ground, although if it is actively snowing or a sheet of ice is covering his scaffolding, this may inhibit his work for a few days due to safety concerns.
