Bert's enchanting creations are preproduced using a mold made from his original clay sculptures. Special resins that give the final product a wood-like feel are used in the mold. Once cured and cleaned, skilled artisans remove any seam lines and hand paint and antique each piece. The final product is carefully inspected to make sure it is true to the original clay piece. "Seeing people enjoy the results enough to take one of them into their homes and make it part of their lives is a the greatest compliment anyone can give me" reflected Bert.
