Our water wheels are crafted using time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations. The mortise and tenon joinery, a hallmark of traditional Chinese woodworking, ensures that each wheel is not only structurally sound but also a work of art. This method of construction, which dates back to ancient China, relies on the precise interlocking of wooden pieces, eliminating the need for metal fasteners and resulting in a more organic and enduring structure.
Our craftsmen, some of whom have been with us for decades, are experts in this traditional method. They meticulously carve and assemble each piece, ensuring that the water wheel is both functional and beautiful. This level of craftsmanship is what sets our water wheels apart and makes them a prized addition to any landscape.
