Wood carving is a time-honored custom that has been passed down from skilled craftspersons to the next, which began many centuries ago. Still today, this tradition employs the exact same techniques to produce treasured works of woodenware art. In every single piece of work, from a skilled artisan, you will see tool marks, which to a carver are the same as an artist’s brush strokes on a section of canvas.
Reflecting through the ages, from early Ancient Greeks and Medieval times, passing through the Renaissance period to the time history recognizes as the Victorian era and then on upwards until present time, the hands of those folk we recognize as Master Wood Carvers have produced some of the most beautiful treasures ever seen in the world. And every single piece has come from the earth’s most valuable resource, wood.
Sincerely,
Gene Frye
