About Face Portrait Pedestals are individually crafted with care in our small shop located in St. Thomas, Ontario Canada.
The process of turning wood
is similar to carving wood, using a lathe
and sharp tools. We begin with your photographic
profile and a hand laid wooden block
of Canadian Maple* slightly larger than
the finished Portrait Pedestal. We
carefully carve away the profile until the
identical image of your portrait gracefully
forms in the wood itself.
The natural beauty of
the wood is preserved with a multi-step
process of fine sanding and hand oiling
of the finished Portrait Pedestal to ensure
it retains its beauty and stands the test
of time.

* Although our stock
wood selection is Canadian Maple, we would
be happy to use the wood of your choice
such as Walnut, Cherry, or Oak. Pricing
and production time may vary based on the
availability of the wood so please
contact us with your preference and
we'll work with you to suit your needs. |
