Stone Forest |
|
| Stone Forest creates hand carved granite sculptures which combine the elegant simplicity of Japanese style with contemporary design. The integrity of granite gives Stone Forest carvings a radiant mass or presence not realized using man-made materials such as cement or cast stone. Since each piece is hand carved using hammer and chisel, the individual character of the rock as well as the inspiration of the stonecutter lend each sculpture a unique quality. In a world of impermanence, the timelessness of hand carved granite can bring a suggestion of eternity to your home or garden.
Stone Forest is the producer of all their own designs as well as many traditional Japanese designs. The company personally inspects and guarantees all of their work to be the finest carvings available in North America. Other companies offering stone products cannot do this because they buy from importers and never see the product that you receive. |
