Carvings again...

Just got a few carvings again to decorate the unit. I just have a thing for products that are being hand crafted, I always wonder to what extend that mortals can build with just simple tools. BUT the brain and patience is the mastermind behind all these master pieces.

Yam House and Kundu (drum)

I am amazed when I saw the Yam house, it's quite hard to carve a ebony wood and not to mention to insert the shell one by one into the carvings. The polishing process can also prove to be tedious at times. (*I tried it myself with some 3M products that we are currently selling)

Yam House


The other day I told my staff to get me a good axe for chopping fire wood... because we're going to have BBQ (Western Style) over the weekend. This is what the end up buying me...

AKA The Axe


This is actually quite a nice piece and considering the material use to make it... I would say it's from the stone age. A random collection out of my expectation :P

I think the axe is actually smoked to preserve the rattan and the stone is polished to the extend that it actually shines... man can you imagine the effort that people would put in back in the old days:)

Another picture of it.
