At WindWood Carvers, creativity knows no bounds, and this past week was a whirlwind of innovation and craftsmanship. Our journey led us to delve into the realm of Quarter Boards, a design concept inspired by the intricate styles adorning ships' sterns and helms, reminiscent of a bygone era. These ornate and gilded designs sparked our imagination, prompting us to test new carving techniques and refine our material processes to transform raw, recyclable wood into the canvas for our artistry.
While CNC technology plays a significant role in our work, there's a meticulous process that precedes the carving. From salvaging and repurposing wood from discarded crates to meticulously preparing each piece for its transformation, our hands-on approach involves nail pulling, ripping, planing, cutting, sanding, and sealing before the CNC machine breathes life into our creations. 
In our quest for uniqueness, WindWood Carvers embraces technology to amplify our creative prowess. By harnessing software tools and exploring new horizons in design, we aim to infuse our carvings with a touch of nostalgia intertwined with modern innovation. The fusion of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques promises a tapestry of distinctive carvings that pay homage to our local heritage.
Painting and finishing are integral facets of our artistic process. As we refine our techniques for achieving impeccable results, transitioning from brushes to HVLP spray guns has revolutionized our sealing and finishing practices. The shift to water-based sealers not only enhances efficiency but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability by reducing toxic waste associated with petroleum-based products. 
Amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy week, every moment at WindWood is a lesson in growth and achievement. The pursuit of excellence through continuous learning fuels our passion for creating timeless pieces that resonate with history and innovation. Stay tuned as we unveil our latest creations and embark on this evolutionary journey together.
At WindWood, every week is an enriching experience filled with creativity, learning, and the sweet taste of success born from dedication and passion. Join us on this artistic voyage as we carve out new horizons in the world of wood craftsmanship.
