 Elegant wood sculpture merging traditional turning techniques with contemporary form and intricate handcrafted detail

Artwork Description

about this wood sculpture

This sculpture is crafted from wild Pistachio wood (Qasvan), found in the cold regions near Sanandaj, Iran. The piece has taken months to complete, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The base is skillfully turned using lathe techniques and made from walnut wood, adding contrast to the design. The lower part of the sculpture also uses wild pistachio wood, maintaining harmony in the materials.

The final finish is a natural, plant-based oil that gives the wood a water-resistant layer and rich texture. Each element of this work highlights the balance between craftsmanship, material, and nature's inherent beauty.
