The wonders of craftsmanship are very much present in the essence and core of Boca do Lobo<\/strong><\/a> and its furniture designs<\/strong><\/a>. Because they’re such a big part of our history and our legacy, Boca do Lobo Blog<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>has decided to open the doors of its knowledge, one technique at a time, starting with the bases: Wood carving<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wood Carving<\/strong><\/em><\/span> is one of the most ancient arts<\/strong> in Human History, it exists since the first men in prehistory, and it is considered the fundamental woodwork method<\/strong>. Carved designs<\/strong> appear in furniture design<\/strong><\/a>, in the building components of our homes and places of worship, in the household items we use daily and as mesmerizing and beautiful decorative sculptures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There is nothing more powerful than expressing our thought through art.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All its techniques are connected to handcrafted woodworking<\/strong> and usually use a cutting tool<\/strong> in one hand, a chisel with both hands or a chisel with one hand and a mallet with the other. The wood carving<\/em> techniques<\/strong> always create wooden figures<\/strong> or sculptural ornaments<\/strong> of wooden objects.<\/p>\n

A talented master woodcarver<\/strong> needs to be able to adapt several different techniques and skills that take years of trial and error, practice and dedication to learn. This ancient art<\/strong> is always learnt with the experienced master artisans<\/strong> that pass their precious know-how<\/strong> to the young generations.<\/p>\n

Handmade works always have the essence of their maker within them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the problems woodwork sculptures<\/strong> in general have is the fact that its survival is harder than art pieces made of stone and bronze, for example. Wood is a living material that is vulnerable to decay, insect damage and fire. That\u2019s why wooden works of art<\/strong> are so precious and must be taken care of gently. The ancient wooden sculptures<\/strong> that lasted until our days are true treasures to Art History.<\/p>\n
