Branch Ends & Fungus Cast Pieces

Hand-made; Designed & Produced in the USA

The importance of cast pieces cannot be overstated.  Fragile elements such as bracket fungi and splintered branch ends look fabulous but as we both know they are delicate and can be broken easily.  In order to combat the fragility we cast them in durable urethanes so that they may stand up to the general public and wild animals and have longevity in an exhibit of any kind.

Carve-right offers these pieces for sale unpainted so that they may be colored to suit your exhibit requirements.  Below are some photographs to show the impact they pieces can have on the viewing audience.  Each piece comes with installation instructions.

Please contact me directly for ordering and more info on any of these cast pieces, including questions about custom orders.
