Carved Furniture Parts

There are millions of highly talented cabinetmakers in the world today. These skilled craftsmen create some of the most beautiful and outstanding furniture design from just a few planks of wood. Many of these pieces of furniture almost can be classified as works of art.

However, there are only a small percentage of furniture makers that also possess the skills needed to create carved furniture parts. These craftsmen must be part cabinetmaker and part sculptor.

Most of the beautiful craved furniture parts we see today are made in Mexico and other parts of Central America. In this area of the world, the local people y still use the apprentice system to train young people in all types of skilled work. As a result, the artisans who create the carved furniture parts studied two crafts and, in most case, completed two separate apprenticeships�one in cabinetmaking and one in sculpting.

A skilled carver can take an already unique but plain piece of furniture and using his imagination and artistic ability create carvings that will turn it into a work of functional art. Each piece is beautiful to look at as well as a useful piece of furniture.

These extraordinary hand-carved benches, trunks, coat racks, and other home accessories can add a touch of beauty and elegance to your d�cor. Each item with its carved furniture parts is one-of-a-kind, unique and hand-crafted by skilled artisans.
It is comforting to know that each piece is created with the ancient skills that have been passed down from generation to generation in this part of the world in this community of artists. The resulting work produces a timeless, classic and beautiful piece of furniture for you to enjoy and someday leave as an heirloom to your descendants.

Carving of all sorts is available on the furniture. Many of the artisans will accept custom orders and will build according to your design. One particular artist only makes ball claw or lion's paw feet and other ornate carving to be added to bed or gate post or banisters on either newly constructed furniture or existing furniture being refinished and adding carved furniture parts
