The carving is a very detailed and difficult process. The wood is gathered, cut into small pieces and sorted. There are several stages to the carving, starting with the abstract form and then the finer detail. The carving is smoothed with sandpaper then lacquered to protect the wood and produce an attractive finish. The grain of the wood produces a beautiful product, each one being unique.
