Art & Joy of Wood: Indonesian Wood Carving Statue

Legiman Arya from Indonesia uses an electric saw to directly cut the design from raw wood without using a paper sketch for reference. His talented carving skills amazed the audience. He then uses a special steel tool from Indonesia to emphasize the delicate lines of the statue that completes the meaningful anthropomorphic (human shape) wood statue which is an ancestral symbol.
