5 out of 5 starsThe yew cat is exquisite. It was even more beautiful in person. Everything in dealing with Perry was perfect. Will be returning for more pieces of Perry’s art.

About PerryLancasterWood
-
Every piece will start off something like this, sketching the general outline on a suitable piece of wood...
-
The original shape is cut out using a bandsaw...
-
These are then roughly shaped using traditional wood carving tools...
-
The form is carefully refined by hand before undergoing several stages of sanding...
-
After the final sanding the pieces are finished with a coat of natural wax, bringing out the full beauty of the wood.
Welcome to my Etsy shop...
Here you will find a constant selection of recent carvings which are available to browse or purchase if desired, if you see something you like and would like to enquire about the possibility of having a similar item carved from an alternative timber please get in touch and I'll see what I can do. Please remember I work alone and carve each piece individually, my stock of timber is limited and constantly evolving so depending on the request there might be a long delay before the item is finished.
My carvings are also available through a number of selected contemporary art galleries which are located predominantly in the UK, if you would like information regarding your nearest outlet please let me know and I'll send details.
I do hope you enjoy looking at the items I have carved, working with this material means no two pieces are ever the same to carve and I never lose enthusiasm to get started on a new piece of wood in order to discover exactly what is hiding inside...
Happy New Year!
Perry

Unglum
Pest Control (retired), Lap Warmer, 2002 - 2016
Unglum (Un-Glum or "Happy") turned up in the barn many years ago, and after sampling a morsel of the evening's sausage casserole decided to stick around. She is a particularly grumpy (hence the name) half-wild cat, but very lovable all the same :)

Please contact the seller if you have any problems with your order.
Payment
If you would like to group items in order to reduce shipping costs please let me know at the time of purchase, I can reserve multiple items for you for shipping at a later date. I ask that the first item is paid in full (including shipping), and subsequent purchases can be paid for at the time of shipping by prior arrangement.
Please pay promptly for your purchases. If you expect there to be a delay in payment, or if you would prefer to pay be cheque please contact me to let me know.
Shipping
All items will be posted within 3 working days after receipt of payment whenever possible. I have been known to trek miles through the snow to get to a post office when my local one has been unable to open! Please rest assured that if there is any delay in getting the pieces shipped I'll let you know.
I charge cost price for shipping using La Poste, the French national postal service, or Chronopost if upgraded shipping is offered.
I will attempt to ship very small items by "Priority Airmail" using a padded envelope, which usually takes 1-2 days within France, 5-7 days within Europe, and 7-15 days for the rest of the world. Only a handful of items are eligible to be shipped by this method due to size restrictions and the nature of the work.
Everything over 3cm wide will be shipped via "Colissimo International" ("Colissimo" for shipping within France) which is tracked, insured and will need to be signed for. Within Europe this usually takes 5-7 days, everywhere else usually takes 7-14 days, and on very rare occasions parcels can take longer if there are delays at customs. A tracking number will be provided at the time of shipping.
Priority and Economy shipping options are available for most carvings even though I am unable to state this at checkout. If you would like further information (even after purchase) please let me know.
All pieces will be carefully packed, I have many years of experience and will post items using the most appropriate size boxes. Sometimes smaller boxes will be placed inside a large padded envelope as La Poste insist the shipping label is attached on one side of the package without folding the edges.
Unless requested I will not include payment information or invoice receipts when shipping the purchased items, so if they are being sent as a gift the recipient will not see the price paid for the carving, however all shipments outside of the EU do require me to value the goods being sent on the shipping label. If a personal message for the recipient is desired please let me know at the time of purchase and I'll be happy to oblige wherever possible.
Please note that Any customs duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
Additional policies and FAQs
And finally, please remember it's only me here (well, me and the cat), and I'm only human! I do everything I can to ensure listings are accurate, and I endeavour to reply to emails swiftly. If you see any errors in my listings please let me know and I'll amend it asap.
