Paulz bone carvings
These carvings are unique collectors bone carvings by Paulz. Beautiful one-off bone carvings. Paulz' Maori bone carvings are quite distinct and quite recognisable pieces of art.Māori design bone carvings
Paulz is Paul, he is the bone carver behind the name 'Paulz'. He bases most of his bone carving designs on New Zealand's Māori culture, but also creates other popular bone carving designs. All of the bone carvings are made from beef bone. The bone is NOT bleached. It is boiled and then sun-dried. This preparation means the bone's natural flecks are retained.Wooden presentation boxes
All bone carvings are presented in a wooden box made from old farm fence battens. The timber varies but is largely kauri or totara. The string and weaving work on the carvings is waxed nylon and is plaited by hand. The nylon material is preferable to natural flax simply because of its durability.Māori design bone carvings
Paul takes great pride in the quality of his work, which he says is 'all in the finishing'. 'Finishing' involves sanding each piece with multiple grades of sandpaper to ensure the bone carving pendant is smooth before it's polished. The time taken in this final process is obvious in the finished product.End of Line
Unfortunately, Paulz has stopped creating his beautiful bone carvings.
We still hope he will start carving again one day...
