Each and every Buddha & Dragon we sell is hand carved from Soar Wood by carvers near Mas in Bali. Each Buddha is painstakingly carved by skilled local craftsmen, usually the older more experienced ones who all tend to work in one street and specialise in particular carvings, animal, dragons, buddhas, etc.

Walking from one end to the other you can see the carvings in various stages of completion. They tend to start out by roughly chipping away at what is literally a trunk of wood before moving onto the fine detail. Sometimes you will see a trunk on one end and an intricate detailed carving emerging from the other end. Each piece can take from 2 - 3 weeks to complete depending in it's size and intricacy.
