How long does it take to complete a fish replica?
When Ken’s Fish receives an order for commissioned work with the required deposit, it is placed in sequence with existing orders. Each order is then started in that sequence. Ken never gets into a production mode as his total focus and attention is on each piece. This doesn’t mean that he won’t have a few projects going on at the same time as he too must use his time as efficiently as possible. With that in mind every thing else is dependant on the complexity and size of the order. However, when a “Ken’s Fish Reproduction” is ordered, Ken places an order with his source immediately for the fish blank as it could take 4 to 8 months for him to receive it. Then when Ken receives the blank and if it’s past due in the sequence he starts working on it immediately. All in all from the time an order is placed (with deposit) with Ken’s Fish, be it one of his Sculptures or his Reproductions, it could be anywhere from 3 to 10 months before it is complete and ready to ship.
