Hi Lisa,
How would one know if the carvings are treated properly? I'm sure if I asked any carver if it was treated, 99 out of a 100 times the answer I get would be "yaa mon" followed by an explanation about how many repeat customers he has that bring his stuff back to the states all the time

We've never heard anyone having problems as long as the wood carving was painted or varnished...make sure the base is coated as well...many carvers often forget to coat the base.
If someone has had an issue with their wood carving(s) being either painted or varnished...please let us know here.
