Behind the legend of Whitehall artistry lies the
tale of a unique craft inspired by the majestic shores and woodlands of
Western Michigan. It was a master woodcarver's desire to reproduce and
preserve his hand carved wood sculpture in metal, depicting the grace and
essence of America's natural beauty. Fifty years later, Whitehall Products
still offers you the same mastery of detail in each originally designed,
carved and hand-cast product.
Each Whitehall Product begins with beautifully hand-drawn designs
created by our own resident artisans. The designs are then hand-carved in
wood by the industry's top carvers. Sand molds are created from the
carvings and then molten metal is poured into the molds. After cooling,
the mold is broken and the metal casting is removed. The molding sand is
conditioned and reused over and over again. Each casting is cleaned
carefully, machine-finished and finally painted with a weather-resistant
finish.
A special alloy of aluminum has been chosen for the manufacture of all
products made in Whitehall's modern foundry. Aluminum is rustproof and
lightweight, yet durable and reasonably priced. |
