The picture....
The climate in indonesia is tropical....with high humidity during rainy season. Although Indonesia has excellent material resources and skilled crafts people, there are no precise quality control procedures to ensure that products achieve international merchantable quality standards.
It is therefore essential that wood products are properly kiln dried in order to eradicate mold and cracking. Products should always be tested with a moisture meter and then finally checked for manufacturing defects.
Graven Image has over 18 years of experience importing products into the U.K. We cannot emphasize enough, the importance of good quality controlling methods

It is our experience that some of the manufacturers selling Balinese products on "the internet" are not even aware of the most basic quality control standards, the result often ending up with the buyer getting a "hit & miss" product. Buying from certain dealers on the internet what might looks like on paper to be a cheaper product, is often sacrificed at expense of receiving unsalable merchandise. We at Graven Image guarantee that manufacturers keep up the standards required for global export markets.
