How
to care for your Natural Driftwood Sculpture |
The
constant buffeting and chafing of wood on wood that
your sculpture has endured drifting on the surfaces
of the lakes of Western Canada has created its wonderfully
tactile facades. Its silver colouring is the result
over time of exposure to the sun. The sculptures are
used to the extremes of nature and suited to all weather
conditions. |
As
Driftwood is a natural material it will eventually break
down, however because our sculptures are formations
of Red Cedar, the natural properties found within the
wood mean that it deteriorates considerably slower than
other species of wood. We therefore recommend the following
guidelines to help your sculpture to remain beautiful
for as long as possible: |
| |
•
If standing upon grass or burying part of the
wood in order to stand it in your garden, paint
the base or buried section with a clear preservative.
This will help prolong its life and delay its
eventual breaking down resulting from contact
with the earth. |
| |
•
If standing your sculpture on a surface such as
gravel or concrete you will not need to treat
the wood. |
| |
•
If you wish to secure the sculpture to hold it
steady, such as for children to scramble on, we
suggest you drill holes into the base to insert
a bar long enough to push down into the ground
for stabilisation. |
|
We
hope that you will receive many years of pleasure from
your driftwood sculpture, and enjoy its natural beauty
as much as we enjoy finding these unique treasures. |

Snapshots
of Canada |
| Our
sculptures are pieces of Canadian Red Cedar transported all
the way from the lakes of British Colombia. The area is a
rich mix of forest, tranquil lake waters and majestic mountainsides,
typical of idyllic Canada. |
| Every
piece is unique and a reflection of this area's outstanding
beauty that gives the feel of the real Canada. Here you can
see the area in which your sculpture was discovered. |
