How a Commission Works

Every piece is one of a kind — here's how we get from your idea to a finished carving.

  1. 1

    Tell us your vision

    Call or send a message with your idea — a photo of your tree, a sketch, or just a picture in your head.

  2. 2

    Design it together

    For on-site work we come to you, look at the tree and the landscape with you, and settle the design before the saw ever starts.

  3. 3

    The carve

    Carved by hand — at the shop, or right where your tree stands. From a few feet tall to 15 feet and up.

  4. 4

    Built to stay

    Finished to live outside through Northwoods winters, and to be the thing people ask about for decades.

What We Do

On-Site Tree Carvings

Got a tree that has to come down — or one you can't bear to lose? We come to you, look at the tree and the yard with you, and carve it into a sculpture right where it stands. From a few feet tall to 15 feet and up.

Custom Carvings

You dream it, we carve it. Bring us a photo, a sketch, or just an idea, and we'll work out the design with you before the saw ever starts.

In-Stock Carvings

Bears, wildlife, and one-of-a-kind pieces ready to go today. Stop by the shop on Highway 371 in Brainerd and pick one out in person.
