Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fox symbolize?
The Fox (Waagosh) symbolizes **cleverness, adaptability, and guidance**. It is seen as a wise observer who knows how to blend in and find the best path forward.
Will the wood change over time?
Because the wood is kiln-dried and sealed, it is very stable. However, like all natural wood products, it may darken slightly over many years, which adds to the rich patina of the piece.
Is the bark edge sharp?
The bark is natural and can have a rough texture. It is not “sharp” like a knife, but it is rustic. We recommend handling the piece by the smooth back or painted surface.
