Every order tells a story. This customer wanted a whale for their entryway, but they had one very specific request: a marble for the eye.

We love when people bring their own ideas to a build. This whale is cut from solid wood, stained gray and varnished for outdoor durability, and now watches over a stunning New England doorway. The marble adds just the right amount of character.

Our custom whale wall art is made to fit your space. Small accent or statement piece, we can build it. Tap the link in bio or head to wetnosewoodworks.com/products/custom-sized-whale-wall-art to get yours started.

Artisan Boards 28, 29 & 30 have entered the shop 🌳
Three new one-of-a-kind boards, each cut from the same signature combo: rich black walnut, warm cherry, and a pop of fiery padauk. Swipe through to see them side by side →
🔹 28 — 14”×10”, bold center stripe, our biggest of the trio
🔹 29 — 14”×9”, offset maple & padauk pinstripes for a cleaner look
🔹 30 — 12”×9”, with a built-in handle for easy carrying (and showing off)
Every board in the Artisan Series is handcrafted right here in Connecticut, finished food-safe, and completely one of a kind — the board in the photo is the exact board you’ll get. No two are ever the same.

New to the shop: the Shelf Sitter Whale. Cut from solid wood, painted and finished right here in our Guilford, Connecticut shop. At 13 inches long, he’s got just enough presence to anchor a mantle, shelf, or windowsill without taking over the room.
