THE ART OF THE WOOD PROCESSING

A trade that goes back a very long way in the mountains, wood-carving. countinues to be a widespread activity throughtout our valleys for making tools and utensils useful for everyday activities.
These days large factories on the plain have largely replaced these ancient trades, and the handiwork of traditional craftsmen has become an increasingly rare, valuable commodity. The skilful hand of these remaining artisans continue to shape the wood of the local trees into the faces of little gnomes with long beards, naughty elves and splendid wood-nymphs, guardians of an enchanted kingdom that has not quite vanished yet. Everything is inspired by the local legends.
