Description
Pads of Wood was created by Chris Harvan as a way of remembering that special contact with a pet’s paw. Recreating your pet’s pads out of wood in this way creates a positive touchpoint that emphasizes that connection.
Custom-created from a photo you provide of your pet’s paw imprint or inkprint. Instructions on how to do this and inputting your pet’s name are provided after purchase. Don’t have an imprint or inkprint? We’ll create one that is roughly your pet’s size – just let us know in your order notes.
Designed to either rest flat, on the bottom edge for shelf display, or hung on a wall. Friends and family of your pet may wish to have their own copies. Share your display with the hashtag #PadsofWood
HOW IT WORKS
- After purchase, we provide easy instructions to electronically provide Aril a photo of your pet’s paw imprint or inkprint and your pet’s name
- Aril carefully crafts a to-scale, wood recreation of your pet’s pads and engraves your pet’s name
- You will receive your Pads of Wood within a few weeks from the date of purchase

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tribute to my pups. Chris took the time to ask about each pup and even added a special touch to Luigi’s tribute. The pieces are beautiful and unique, just like each of the pups I’ve lost over the years.

I cannot thank Chris and Aril Memorial enough for this beautiful piece in memory of my pup Rascal. The work is flawless and I absolutely love how personalized it is with his actual paw print. I highly recommend working with this fabulous team that puts so much time and care into perfectly crafting a wonderful memorial.

I recently purchased a wood-carved memorial piece to honor the memory of my teenagers’ deceased Yorkie. I can’t emphasize enough how it has truly exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect to receive a stunning little work of art. From the moment I unboxed it, I was captivated by the craftsmanship and intricate detailing. The first thing that struck me was the rich grain of the wood, which tells its own story through the unique patterns and hues. Shout out to the artist for highlighting the natural beauty of the material. This piece has become a beautiful focal point in our home. It gets attention and evokes emotion. It’s something that my daughter can be proud of while sharing funny memories of her furry companion Bentley. I wholeheartedly recommend Aril Memorial to anyone looking to honor a loved one or simply to appreciate fine craftsmanship. It’s a legacy carved in wood. My daughter will cherish this work of art for years to come. Thank You Aril!
