Product: Hand carved wooden Buddha statue

Name: 2 Tone Happy Buddha statue | 25cm

These beautiful dark wooden and gold 25cm happy Buddha statues have been personally hand carved for Siiren under our strict Fair-trade guidelines, the wonderful detail is simply breathtaking considering they have each been hand carved using traditional methods and not conventional power tools or machinery.

The Wonderful Happy Buddha statues we showcase on our site are created for Siiren by a team of 3 dedicated and truly gifted wood carvers based in Bali, Indonesia. No matter what level of intricacy we require for our designs these craftsman make it reality. Bangkim, one of Siiren’s Happy Buddha Artists is featured on the artist information tab.

The laughing Buddha statue is probably the most widely recognizable depiction of Buddha in western culture. It’s well documented for good luck, prosperity and abundance. When your Happy Buddha statue arrives to you remember, you must be respectful to him and he shall in turn respect you. Most importantly, don't forget to rub his belly at least once every day to gain the properties he holds within.

These hand carved wooden Buddha statues are made from very dense solid Suar wood which is likened to Mahogany. The wood is then finished in house with high quality clear Wax polish to give it a lovely non colouring sheen.

Please note: We are using stock photo to showcase this style of Buddha, although the pictured Buddha is a perfect example of the size, shape and quality you will receive, the wood grain may differ between them.

To help you enjoy your purchase for years to come, we have devised a small care sheet to advise you on its well-being. Your handmade wooden product is totally natural. It is not mass produced by machine from factory treated wood thus the item you have is going to be affected by several factors if not looked after properly

Heat

Natural wooden products do not like great amounts of heat , be it central heating or direct sunlight. We would advise that your item is not placed next to a radiator or fireplace or in a sunny window.

Leaving your product close to a source of heat will dry the wood very quickly and WILL make it crack as the moisture looks to escape from inside.

We have all of our products warehoused in a standard temperature environment for at least 12 months before selling them to ensure that any cracking from moisture movement is apparent well before going on sale.

Moisture

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, your wooden item needs to retain a certain level of moisture content to keep at its best. The simplest way we would explain this is to think of your wooden product like a fresh plant you have bought. If a plant is not nourished and watered it will start to dry out and look awful.

We care for every single wooden product in our warehouse at least once a month with TEAK OIL. Teak oil will put needed moisture back into the wood and also keep it looking its best.

Teak oil is available from the likes of B&Q for around £3 for a small bottle. Simply spray some teak oil onto the product, leave for around 1 minute and brush in with a clean paint brush.

Outside

A question we are asked quite often is "can my product be left outside"?

Yes - the product is fine outside but would need treating with a polyurethane based product such as yacht varnish or similar to simply protect it from the outside elements.

Colour

We are often asked about odd colour patterns in the wood , this is a totally natural occurrence in handmade products and to a certain degree confirms the product you have is a genuine handmade item.
