Wood Carving These days

This type of Russian craft is definitely faced better times. Unfortunately, today, this type of craft looks more archaic than a distinctive part of heritage. The research showed that local craftsmen are decorating mostly caskets or furniture for children (that often is terrible quality). It was noticed that most of the items were made on CNC machines. And handmade items cost more, but the design is absolutely the same as machinemade. Sad, but true: the craft has hundreds of years of history and traditions that hundred years ago experienced a renaissance, today, for the most people is just something boring and dull.
