Jim is currently open to taking commission work, please get in touch if you want to know more about the process, or would be interested in starting a commission journey.

Timeframes
Timeframes
From confirmation of design to delivery of a completed stone carving takes around 2-3 weeks on average.
However, please keep in mind that time for a commission piece can depend greatly on stone availability, detail and size of the intended piece. Due to the number of variables that go into creating a stone carving, timelines are best discussed and confirmed with Jim during the design process for your unique carving.
Cost
Cost
To commission a unique stone carving from Te Kie Kie, a non refundable deposit of 20% of the expected commission cost is required to cover time spent during the design process.
A price guide will be given at the start of the process, however the final costing will not be confirmed until the artwork is finalised to account for any changes between initial concept and final design.
If you chose not to proceed with your carving after completing the design process, then no further payment is required.
Once the carving is complete, payment in full of the agreed upon balance is required prior to pick up or shipping of the carving.
