Description

The traditional way of making wooden use and decorative objects by hand. The way of working and the tools are still the same, the products are nowadays more modern and artistic. 

This is about my personal registration.

The profession of woodcarver and sculptor in wood can be considered familiar. In Belgium, where I have gained my knowledge, lessons are still being given in this profession, here there is still a lot of wood carving and its restoration, such as in old buildings, including churches. In the Netherlands, practical objects such as a yoke, wooden spoons etc.
