Pondside Policies

- I do the best work I'm capable of, while continually seeking to improve.  

- Carvings are priced "per hour" as well as according to their artistic merit.   Any applicable discounts are then applied. It is understood that if an estimate is given for a special order I am not bound to my estimate and the customer is not obligated to buy the finished carving.


 - Orders for carvings are taken with no deposit, but with the expectation that the customer will pay promptly upon the completion of their order.

- I usually complete carvings consecutively as the orders for them were received.  Occasionally, exceptions to this general policy are necessary. 


- For small carvings, I usually carve from four to six of any species at a time, but orders for special, one-of-a-kind carvings  are welcome.

 - An estimated completion date is given with an order with the understanding that I am usually back-ordered, and therefore cannot be precise about when the order will be started or completed.  

 - If significant time has elapsed since an order was placed, the customer will be contacted before I start the carving, 
to confirm that they still want the carving, .

 - Discounts are given for multiple purchases at one time and to repeat customers.


 - Discounts do not apply to one-of-a-kind orders or Powertool carvings.

- Initial shipping costs are paid by Pondside Studio.  Return shipping costs are paid by the customer.

 - When completed, special orders of common wild birds and animals may be declined for any reason, or returned for a full refund if the customer is displeased with them, provided they are returned undamaged within one week of receipt.  
   

                                I can be contacted in person or by MAIL at
                                             627 Glen Rd, Jay, NY, 12941
