The Woodturners
The majority of our woodenware are carved from a single block of wood. Pretty wonderful to watch, the artisan draws the design on the wood block and starts carving unwanted parts carefully. Those unwanted parts become small accessories in the hand of experts. Then they turn them on the lathe to smooth into the perfect shape. After numerous times of turning and shaping, the product is finished with hand sanding.

Woodturners' tools are amazingly nostalgic, but the art and craft of how they use them is quite fascinating.
