Jack regularly freights sculptures and around the world, each sculpture will have a wooden crate specifically built. The crates will be treated for international travel and marked accordingly, the sculptures will then be carefully packed with compressed paper for their journey. The crates are palleted so a forklift is required to move them unless they are small. Over the years, Jack has successfully shipped hundreds of sculptural works internationally with next to no damage. Sculpture shipping is done on a case-by-case basis and installation, insurance and freight advice will be given upon order. For larger installations, Jack typically prefers to oversee the installation himself where possible.

For custom works and commissions sculptures, the lead time is typically 8-12 months. The timeframe depends on the scale, material and complexity of the work required. Many of the rocks such as marble, granite and quartz that Jack prefers to work with are sourced from outside New Zealand and shipping time needs to be factored in.  Jack will give a more detailed time frame upon ordering.

Forsculptures, the process changes depending on the scale and stone type being used. For larger works, a clay model is created in conjunction with the client if the work has been commissioned. Once the design, stone type and scale have been finalised, Jack ventures to the required stone mine and sources a rock suitable for the work (Jack uses different mines across the world depending on the desired stone) once a stone has been sourced, Jack then uses a variety of modern and traditional stone carving tools such as grinders and pneumatic chisels to rough out the stone according to the design, once a rough out has been completed, the stone gets slowly refined and carefully polished to a hone.

The price of the sculpture varies depending on the stone type used, the complexity of the piece, the scale and of course the number of hours required to create the work. Harder stones typically require more work to sculpt so will demand a higher price. Jack is happy to give quotes on request.
