Do you actually make this work?

Yes - we make absolutely everything that you see on our site. Noah's Ark has been in business for 25 years and features the work of Ted Nichols. We do employ student interns who learn about wood carving before going to college. Ted designs all the carvings.

Can you do a carving of my pet?

Yes-we can do a special design for you. If you send a photo we can carve your favorite pet or idea.

Do you have payment plans available for larger selections?

Yes - You simply make 3 installments to complete your purchase. This is for carvings over $300. Just contact us for details.

How are the carvings shipped ?

They are shipped via UPS ground or the US Postal Service for small items. There is a $6.50 shipping charge on all orders except when you choose to ship the item via a different method. All items shipped out of the United States will be calculated on an individual basis.
