What sizes are available for a custom wall sculpture commission?

Albert's wall sculptures range from approximately 1x2 feet up to large 4x8 foot installations. The size of a given commission is determined during the initial consultation, where Albert takes personal on-site measurements and assesses the wall space, existing architectural details, and the client's vision. There is no catalog of fixed sizes; every piece is scaled specifically to its intended environment and the narrative or aesthetic intent behind it.

What materials does Albert use in his wall sculptures?

All wall sculptures are built from 100% solid natural wood. Albert frequently incorporates rare exotic burls, including Walnut Burl and Olive Burl, alongside embedded natural gemstones and stone accents. No MDF, particle board, pressboard, or composite materials are ever used. All finishes are crystal-clear, non-acid, non-toxic polyurethane coatings that protect both the piece and the health of everyone in the home after installation.

Can a wall sculpture include personalized text or family history?

Yes. Albert reads and writes seven alphabets, which allows him to integrate ancient scripts, biblical narratives, birth dates, wedding dates, family names, and other personal records directly into the organic form of a sculpture. Commissions like the Tree of Life are specifically designed to function as multi-generational family documents rendered in wood. This level of personalization is a core capability available on any heirloom or legacy commission.

Is any machine automation involved in creating a wall sculpture?

No. Every wall sculpture is formed entirely by hand, with no machine-automated production at any stage. Albert's approach is rooted in a handcrafted tradition that explicitly rejects industrial manufacturing methods. All organic contours, material selections, and surface treatments are executed manually, which is part of what makes each piece a genuine 1-of-1 creation that cannot be replicated by automated or factory-based processes.

Who handles the final installation of a finished wall sculpture?

Albert installs every piece himself. The same artisan who designed and built the sculpture performs the final on-site installation. This single-artisan model means there are no third-party installers involved at any point, and the quality standards maintained throughout the build are preserved through to the moment the piece is secured on your wall. It also eliminates the fees and miscommunication risks that come with outsourcing installation to a separate contractor.

Are artificial stains or paints used to color the wood in these sculptures?

No artificial stains, dyes, or paints are used to color any of Albert's wood art. All color variation is achieved strictly through the natural selection of different wood species and exotic burls, each of which carries its own inherent tone, grain, and hue. This approach is consistent with the same standard Albert applies to his marquetry and intarsia inlay work, where thousands of individual wood pieces achieve a full color range entirely through natural wood variation.

Does Albert take commissions from clients outside the Santa Clarita area?

Yes. Albert serves clients across a wide range of communities in the greater Los Angeles area, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Westwood, Calabasas, and Westlake Village, in addition to the Santa Clarita area where the workshop is based. On-site consultation and personal installation are included in the commission process regardless of location within the verified service area.

Custom Wall Sculptures | Edijou Woodmaster

Albert works exclusively in organic, natural contours. There are no rigid factory square shapes in his wall art. Each bespoke wooden sculpture is carved and assembled to follow the natural character of the wood itself, incorporating rare burls such as Walnut Burl and Olive Burl alongside embedded gemstones and natural stone accents. The result is a fine art wood installation that reflects the material's own history as much as the artist's hand. All finishes use crystal-clear, non-acid, non-toxic polyurethane coatings, so the piece brings no chemical off-gassing into your home. Every surface is finished with the same health-first standards that define all of Albert's work.

Albert Edijou earned 1st Prize among 384,000 master craftsmen in Germany in 1990 and has spent more than 47 years refining a practice that bridges fine art and architectural woodwork. His wall sculptures are not decorative accessories; they are museum-quality custom wood art pieces created with the same precision and material standards he applies to executive furniture and historical inlay commissions. Fewer than ten practitioners per country in France, England, and Germany still work at this level of hand-formed wood artistry. When you commission a wall sculpture from Edijou Woodmaster, you are acquiring a work from one of the few living masters of this craft.

Albert's wall sculptures can be personalized to carry genuine narrative meaning. Commissions have incorporated ancient alphabets, family records, birth and wedding dates, and "Tree of Life" compositions that function as permanent family documents rendered in wood. Albert reads and writes seven alphabets, which allows him to weave biblical stories, ancient scripts, and personalized family histories directly into the organic form of the sculpture. These are not decorative carvings; they are jewelry-grade legacy pieces designed to be passed down through generations. Clients from Beverly Hills and Bel Air to Calabasas and Westlake Village have commissioned this work for private estates and corporate executive spaces alike.

Every commission follows the same single-artisan model: Albert handles the initial consultation, takes personal on-site measurements, designs the piece himself without third-party designer fees, builds it entirely by hand in his Santa Clarita workshop, and installs it personally. The person who conceived your wall sculpture is the same person who places it on your wall. There are no subcontractors, no prefabricated components, and no machine-automated production at any stage. Functional standing lamps incorporating burl work and natural stones are also available as companion pieces for clients who want a cohesive handcrafted environment.
