Collaborative Woodworking

A Collaborative Process from Start to Finish

At Agrell Architectural Carving, our process is entirely collaborative. Whether the project involves working with a French interior design firm hired to renovate a residence in London for a client in the Middle East, we bring it all together. Working closely with contractors, designers, architects and fine joinery companies, we can ensure a smooth production from start to finish.

We Take Your Business Personally 

If contacted early in the design process, we can offer options on cost and implementation that can save a signficant amount of time and money while offering the highest traditional accuracy. 

To start, we can quickly produce an initial estimate. All we need are a few lines, simply drawn and emailed to us with approximate dimensions. Or, if you come to us with an idea, a style, even a photograph, we can easily further the design process.

The Importance of Good Design

Typically, we offer several design options that range in complexity and cost. Keep in mind however, the project doesn't necessarily have to be complex to be good—it has to be well designed. A simple design that is well carved—or even one that involves no carving at all—is better than a complicated design poorly executed.

We ensure that every detail and element that relates to the style of the period is duly noted. The techniques used to accurately create the construction, including specific carving techniques and the correct proportions are presented in the form of drawings, mock-ups and samples.

Authenticity is our Hallmark

All traditional woodcarving was of course executed by hand—as is all of our carving.

To deliver the highest degree of authenticity, our team of wood carvers utilises the same tools and methods that past generations of wood carvers have employed. The final result is a masterpiece of woodwork that is true to the period style in every way.

Even today, with all of the technology we have at our disposal, there is no machine yet invented that can provide the exquisite flow, movement and delicacy of detail that results from the handwork of a skilled wood carver. The human touch—this is what sets Agrell Architectural Carving apart.
