Featured New Zealand Master Carvers:

Len & Candy Kay

Len & Candy are masters of their craft specialising in intricate carvings from deer antler with very strong traditional style and true detail.

This carving is made from the base of naturally caste off deer antlers - no animal has been harmed in any way.

This Fish Hook with Trout is carved from the crown at the base of the antler. Antler is a very unique type of bone with a beautiful range of subtle natural colours and an interesting texture which makes it look and feel almost identical to whale bone.

This carving features stunning artistry, skill and very thick bone for a true 3D masterpiece. These carvings are designed to be worn but also make stunning display pieces when mounted in their crown.

Traditionally, Maori Fish Hook carvings (Hei-Matau) represent prosperity,abundance, fertility and strength. They are also seen as good luck charms, particularly for those traveling over water. Hei-Matau are symbols of power and authority which are held in great reverence by the Maori people.

While Len and Candy may carve some of these designs again, due to the nature of the antler and the fact that they are hand carved, no two pieces can ever be the same.

Once each piece sells it will be removed from our online store.

All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag. Cords are hand made from black waxed braid with a loop and bone toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included.

All prices include worldwide airmail insured delivery.
