Holden & Holden Designs aka Holden Wood Design is one of the leading woodcarving companies of the Pacific Rim, specializing in sculptural and classical design using various exotic Hawaiian hardwoods to achieve a kaleidoscope of colors (no painting or staining is involved). This art form has been perfected through the use of prototypes and years of experimentation in the production shop of Robert and Rita Holden. Although the method was used primarily during the creation of smaller waterfowl carvings during the past three decades, in recent years the same technique has been used with great success to create numerous larger scale carvings. Testimonials from clients of nearly 20 years ago who first purchased pieces utilizing this approach attest to the durability and lasting quality of such a method.
