Or, Choose Something From our Inventory!

While we love to work with our clients to capture memorable moments using their own unique ideas and designs, we also offer a number of products that you can choose from our online inventory - including some of our Whittled branded merchandise! Each month we will be adding new product lines and items, and we have listed these items by category for your convenience. And, perhaps best of all, any stock item can be personalized (your family name(s), dates, etc.) for an additional $35.

We will also be offering seasonal items over the course of the year - such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, and other notable occasions. Please come back often to see what’s new - or better yet, join our newsletter and get notified ahead of time!

FAQs

  • The answer to that question somewhat depends on the design, but the largest item we can currently make is 40” X 30” X 4”

  • First - we recommend only kiln-dried hardwoods as they work much better for detailed 3D carvings. We typically keep maple, walnut, mahogany, and cherry on hand but can use any type of hardwood you prefer (depending on availability at our supplier)

  • Well, there are a lot of variables to this answer - items in stock will ship next business day. Personalized and custom orders will depend on how long the design process takes, how large / detailed the design is, and type of wood selected. As a general rule, you should expect 1-2 weeks for custom orders from receipt of your design to arrival at your door. These carvings have remarkable depth and detail, but it can take many hours, sometimes even days, on the CNC machine to create. Then, we make sure the finish we apply has had ample time to cure before shipping. We think of ourselves more like a crockpot than a microwave. It may take longer, but it sure “tastes” better!

  • Absolutely! While a sign would be a custom order, the carving process usually takes far less than a 3D carving. The only limit is the sign cannot be larger than 40” X 30”
