Wood Carving

On our way back, we stopped by a wood carving shop. Carved wood has taken on a totally new meaning – I am in total awe as to what can be done with a piece of wood, a lot of talent and a lot of time. The carvings that were sculpted at the wood shop we stopped at were absolutely unbelievable. They also had chairs and tables that would seat giants (I could only picture these things at a ski lodge – they’d never fit in an average house, even by western standards). They had furniture of all sorts, each with a carefully carved scene – the tables were exquisite! Truly furniture carved, and priced, for a king.
