Here are some more information for Carved Wooden:

Whatever you own, run or visit, whether it is a lodge, cabin or summer place, nothing welcomes people in the same way as a creative wooden sign does. If you are looking for a custom sign, nothing matches the look and feel of an old world style, deeply carved wooden sign; primarily because with this type of sign has no limitations.
You can make your sign as creative as you can imagine regardless of what message you are trying to get across, whether it is your house number, family name or a message used to create a decor piece to hang on a wall inside you can achieve any or all of these things with the help of a carved wooden sign.
Why settle for a practical, standard run of the mill sign for your lodge, cabin or summer place when you could invest in a handcrafted wooden sign that can say so much more about your business, home, cabin or camp and lodge. The reason that I say this is down to the fact you can use this type of sign to convey a lot more than merely who you are or what number your cabin is. Because you can place both text and images on these signs you are able to convey traits about your business or personality. With this in mind you have to consider the fact there are so many factors to take on board when you are planning how your sign will look. You need to consider font and images as well as the type of wood that you are using for your sign.
One of the best types of wood that can be used for these signs is Western Red Cedar. When properly finished, Western Red Cedar will last for decades; even in the most harsh environments. This is thanks to the fact it has a natural resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage, which makes it a great choice for a wooden sign that is going to be in the line of sun, rain, heat and cold all year round. It basically has a natural durability but it also has a natural beauty and it is these two things combined that make it perfect for use on a wooden sign.
Fonts used on wooden sign require considerable thought: it is the first and most prominent thing that people will see. One font can deliver a completely different meaning than another so you need to make sure that the font you use is giving out the correct message that you want. If you use bold, stand out strong structured font then this will give out a serious message that generally informs people. I would say that this font is mainly used on warning messages. This kind of helps you gain the idea of the sort of font you will want to be looking for. Text however isn't the only option you have with a wooden sign!
You have the freedom of being able to place an image on your wooden sign; choosing to do this can greatly increase your signs visibility, in fact in a lot of cases people are far more likely to notice and develop an interest in your sign if an image is featured on it. In many cases people will often notice this image before they notice the actual text on it. It is down to reasons such as these as to why you may wish to include an image on your sign.
The images on your sign could be anything from a pet to a portrait or landscape - as well as objects. Photographs can be incorporated on the sign, too. Because it is hand carved it isn't high resolution but plenty of silhouette detail to be powerful.
Finally, size affects the carving complexity and cost. The larger it is the more detail you can place on it. These larger signs will cost more but if you need the extra detail then the extra cost is worth it.
I love Western Red Cedar and have been using this amazing and legendary material for over 40 years in construction and my art of carving personalized outdoor welcome signs. Find us at http://www.cedarsign.com where we've been hand crafting personalized cedar outdoor signs since 1966?

Types of Wooden Candle Holders
From time immemorial, our ancestors had been using wooden candle holders. Such a long practice of making these pieces have refined the art of making hand carved wooden candle holders. In the ancient times, these candle holders were a necessity but with time, they have grown into art pieces. Now the wood is carved into different and interesting designs to match with all types of home decor.
Centerpiece Candle Holder: These are large candle holders, usually in shapes resembling chandeliers. They can be used on tables any where- in living room or on dining tables to give warmth to the whole atmosphere.
Ethnic Candle Holders: Pieces of wood are carved out in ethnic designs, such as African candle holders or Indian candle holders. The designs reflect the culture and traditions of the respective countries.
Outdoor Candle Holders: These are simply a log or large plank of wood, with large holes drilled into them to hold tea lights. They give extra charm to the outdoor decor of any house.
Floating Wooden Candle Bowls: The wooden bowls with or without stands make the floating candles tremendously attractive. The wood used for bowls are either left in their natural form with their pale shades or are painted with colors. Sometimes, carving is also done to make them more beautiful.
Contemporary Candle Holders: These wooden candle holders have interesting shapes and styles. They are mostly colored with fire resistant paints.
Whatever be the style of wooden candle holder, a right sized candle holder undoubtedly complement other pieces of furniture and accessories in a room. The most interesting fact is that they can be bought within any kind of budget. While the simple mass produced candle holders are cheap and readily available, the hand carved or turned candle holders are comparatively more expensive. So why wait, go grab a wooden candle holder according to your needs and make your whole surroundings beautiful.

How to strip stain off carved wooden chairs?
I bought some carved wooden chairs with the intent to strip back the stain and re-upholster them and use them as our dining chairs.
I am relatively patient and planned to sand them back by hand (no matter how long it took) but am having difficulty getting the stain out of the carved areas without damaging the crispness of the carved edges.
These are the chairs:

Are there any products or techniques I can use to get the stain out of the carving without damaging it?
Any advise would be a help.
The wood underneath is really beautiful, I was just going to do a clear french polish.
Those are pretty. Look for a water based stripper and I would round up different tools. They have plenty of plastic tools in the stores, You may want to use a toothbrush or small scrub brush to get in the grooves. Steel wool works great too. Good luck.
