Besides woodcarving, we also offer restoration services,
clay modeling, and vacuum drying of wood (up to WxL: 7.7' x 22").
Additionally, we provide small-scale CNC and laser engraving services.
No project is too big or too small; we always love to hear your ideas.
Our mission is to reintroduce the wonders of nature into our fast-paced modern world.
We believe in living in harmony with nature’s rules and aim to inspire
a deeper appreciation for the mother nature through our art.
If our creations can help foster a greater respect and connection with nature,
we consider it our greatest achievement.
About artist
Mori (Moriyuki) Kono: Born in 1967, he moved to Canada from Japan in 1994 with dreams of a career in woodworking. He jumped into the Log Home and Timber Frame scene, where he built up his skills and knowledge over the years. What started as a fun hobby "woodcarving" soon took off as he began getting a few commissions. Mori is one of the finest wildlife sculptors and a true nature lover. The delightful expressions in his sculptures clearly show his sincere and gentle spirit. He began his sculpting career with woodcarving and is now broading his artistic range to include other materials, such as clay for original modeling, Public Art and Commercial Projects. His completed woodcarvings are exquisite pieces of art, varying in size from small desk ornaments and fireplace mantel decorations to grand centerpieces for hotel lobbies. Mori loves bringing his clients' ideas to life and puts a lot of care into the design and final touches of each piece. You can find some of his work at places like BC Children's Hospital, the Vancouver Police Department, and various schools and districts across Canada and the US.
Materials
We make an effort to use local wood for our projects whenever possible, sourcing it from storm damage or development clearing. Mori has expertly built a low-temperature vacuum chamber from scratch that can lower the moisture content from 100% to 5% in about two weeks, all while preserving the quality of the wood cells. This process helps ensure that most of our sculptures are less likely to crack or warp over time.
