Did you know that before creating a custom granite (marble and bronze are also available) sculpture in Wenchang Stone, we will make a clay model in advance for our client's approval? This clay model vividly demonstrates the intended design and allows for easier adjustments by the client. Once the clay model is approved, we then precisely replicate it in granite, marble, or bronze creating the final sculpture. Do you like this kind of process? #sculpture #claymodel #monument #headstone #customstatues

https://lnkd.in/dK5ZZWzp Which wood is best? Oak, ash and pine – the best types of wood for creating sculptures In Europe the favorite material of masters is oak. It is strong textured and highly weather-resistant. Although oak is extremely strong, it is good to carve. Oak is a very good wood for sculpting. Ash is distinguished by its creamy color and is difficult to chisel. It is considered one of the more valuable hardwoods, suitable for making wooden sculptures of different sizes. Basswood is a great wood for carving, characterized by pinkish white to pale yellow color and a few knots. Pine wood is also soft, but unlike basswood, with many knots.
