Ankh Wood Carved Art Egyptian Home Decor Meaning Eternal Life Ancient Septre Of The Pharaoh Wall Hanging

MEANING: Egyptian hieroglyphic of Eternal Life, also known as the Ancient Septre of the Pharaoh, key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata. This symbol combines the tau or t-shaped cross which stands for life & male energy, with the loop or circle which stands for eternity & female energy. THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed & carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12-inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders, etc.), we use no lasers, CNC machines or computer-operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands & eyes... We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 & then 220 grit finishes the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color.
