How It Works

From first message to the day it hangs on your wall

Every MetaWood piece is carved by hand to order. Here is how a commission works, whichever path you choose.

1. Choose your path

Pick a design from our Curated Themes, send a photo for a Custom Portrait, or describe a Bespoke Commission such as a monumental panel or a hotel or villa project.

2. Consultation

Tell us the size, the space it is for, and the finish you prefer. We confirm what is possible, the price and the production timeline before anything is carved.

3. Design sketch and approval

For custom portraits and bespoke pieces, we send a design sketch for your approval before carving begins. Curated designs follow the archive piece you chose.

4. Hand carving

Your piece is carved from natural solid wood by our Balinese master artisans, using traditional chisels and gouges. No CNC machines. You receive regular photo updates from our studio while it is in progress.

Typical timelines: curated panels 3–6 weeks depending on size; custom portraits 4–8 weeks; Signature and bespoke pieces several months.

5. Final review

Before finishing and packing, we share final photos so you can review your piece.

6. Crated, insured shipping

Your piece is crated and padded, then shipped worldwide with insured DHL Express.
