The majority of our work is entirely hand crafted, however we do maintain affiliations with shops capable of replicating our work if the project requires multiple instances of the same panels or figures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Safari Chest by Artisans of the Valley - Hand Carved Widlife Scenes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artisansofthevalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ws_safarichest1_l.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1669\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"Safari Chest by Artisans of the Valley - Hand Carved Widlife Scenes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artisansofthevalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ws_safarichest1_l-300x257.jpg\" alt=\"Safari Chest by Artisans of the Valley - Hand Carved Widlife Scenes\" width=\"216\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artisansofthevalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ws_safarichest1_l-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artisansofthevalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ws_safarichest1_l-150x128.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.artisansofthevalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ws_safarichest1_l.jpg 756w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a>Our wildlife and landscape carvings are available as reliefs (incised) carving, appliques, or as dimensional sculpture.
