Chiang Mai Artisans spend two months carving large wooden figurines from a single piece of wood, ensuring precision and artistry for the Thai export market. After carving, a meticulous two-day painting process brings vibrant colours and intricate details to life, particularly in the case of a Native American figure.
To preserve the masterpiece, a final touch involves applying lacquer for added protection and a glossy sheen. This combination of carving, painting, and lacquering results in enduring and exceptional wooden sculptures, capturing the essence of the subjects with realism.
