Abstract
The poles, house posts, masks and bent-wood boxes carved by the 18th and 19th century Northwest Coast natives were studied from the perspective of a furniture and wooden objects conservator. Particular attention was paid to the selection of woods, the tools and techniques of carvings, the coatings, and issues relevant to their conservation.
