Each
and every Dragon we sell is hand carved from Soar Wood by carvers
near Mas in Bali. Each Dragon 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.
