Sculpture Care |
It is important to have a care routine for your stone or wood sculptures. Just like you would have a humidifier in your home to keep your wood cabinets, trim and furniture from drying out and becoming brittle. I keep a small cup of water inside my curio cabinets.
At least once per month I wipe down my sculptures with "Liquid Gold" furniture polish or a natural "Beeswax" polish. If your sculptures start showing signs of "dry" spots before the end of the month, you might want to start treating them more than once per month.

These birds are often seen to symbolize achievements that are associated with being recognized.

Welcome to The Crabby Nook!
The Crabby Nook has brought our customers a unique cultural shopping experience since 1998. After a temporary hiatus from 2006 to 2009 due to illness that forced us to close our physical store, we have reopened as an exclusively online selling site, enabling us to reach more customers than we could as a brick and mortar establishment.
This has also enabled us to add art and collectibles from around the world. We currently specialize in products from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We are traveling the world looking for unique ethnic cultural collectibles for your shopping pleasure. It is a growing business. We know that you will appreciate the highest quality and diverse offerings.
Be sure to check out our Oriental Furniture category. Photographs do not do these pieces justice. They are gorgeous and you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality.
We carry some wonderful soapstone carvings from Africa. These make great gifts. Be sure to check out our animal sculptures, pencil cups, trinket boxes and plates. We are also carrying a very nice selection of hand woven baskets. We are having a hard time keeping these in stock. All of our products from Africa are of the highest quality and made with "living green" concepts with natural fibers, stones and dyes. We will also be adding more bone sculptures. They are magnificant!
Please browse around and enjoy your stay at The Crabby Nook. If you have any questions regarding returns and payment please review our Store Policies section and contact us with any comment, suggestion or question you might have.
We offer Secure Online Shopping. You can rest assured that your information is carefully guarded.
Your personal satisfaction with your shopping experience is the most important feature of this business. We want you to become our best customer and good friend.

Feng Shui Symbols you should have many of… - You can never have enough Buddhas displayed in all areas of your home and business. A Buddha represents many things. I use them to welcome harmony in my family, welcoming wealth, stability, career and calming. I have Buddhas in every room. The neat thing about Buddhas is that you can display them anywhere in a place of respect. I have them in a corner of a room, on a shelf, in a plant. Buddhas come in Jade carvings, Gemstone carvings, Temple Stone carvings when you are lucky enough to find one, Crystal, Hong Tze, Stone, Bronze, Brass, Metal, Resin or Hong Kong Ivory, just about any element you can think of. I probably have one of every element display in my home.
