A hand-carved relief of Jesus Christ in solid walnut, measuring 47 inches high by 30 inches wide with a three-inch depth. The three inches matter: it is a substantial relief rather than a carved plaque, which allows the face to be modeled with real dimensionality and the hair and drapery to be undercut so they hold shadow.
Specifications
- Dimensions: 47" H × 30" W × 3" D
- Material: 100% solid walnut
- Finish: Natural wood finish, no paint
- Customization: different sizes and wood species available
Carving a Face in Relief
A face is the least forgiving subject in carved relief. There is no margin in the eye sockets, the bridge of the nose or the set of the mouth — a fraction too deep or too shallow in any of them and the expression changes completely. Devotional work compounds the difficulty, because the emotion of the piece rests entirely on that expression rather than on any narrative around it.
Walnut, Unpainted
Solid walnut is used throughout and left unpainted. The dark, variegated timber does something a painted surface cannot: the grain passes through the face, the hair and the background as one continuous material, which gives the relief a stillness and gravity that color would interrupt.
Where It Works
Minimalist, wabi-sabi and traditional interiors, prayer rooms, chapels and private collections. It needs a plain wall and, ideally, light from one side rather than straight on.
Production and Shipping
Made to order, with free shipping and tax included in the listed price.
Can it be made in a different size?
Yes. Alternative dimensions are available — contact us with your requirements.
Is it painted or stained?
Neither. The finish is natural walnut, chosen so the grain remains visible throughout.
How should it be lit?
From one side. Raking light emphasizes the modeling of the face; flat frontal light flattens it.

🧼 Care & Use Guide for Epoxy and Wood Products
- Especially for pnes with clear epoxy, protect from direct sunlight
- Avoid chemical cleaners. Use a slightly damp cloth for regular cleaning. For fingerprints or stains, you can use glass cleaner or vinegar water. If food spills, gently wipe the area. Leave oily spots if they don’t come off easily — the wood will absorb the oil, and it won’t be damaged.
- To preserve the wood’s color, shine, and durability, apply natural wood oils regularly (2-3 years). They nourish and protect the surface.
- Extreme heat and moisture can damage both wood and epoxy. Never place hot items like teapots or pans directly on the surface — always use a heat-resistant mat.
- When moving or assembling large, heavy pieces, take your time and ask for help to avoid damage.
