Sculptures enhance the beauty and grace of any residential or commercial setting. If the idea of large work of art adorning the lawn of a museum or large estate doesn’t impress you as you are looking something to fit into smaller spaces, handmade wood sculptures can be ideal decoration solutions for you. These sculptures are available in all sizes and styles to suit most of the environments.
Wood sculptures have a long and rich place in history of many countries and traditions. Before the advent of die-cut (stamped) cardboard puzzles, most puzzles were made of wood and they were hand-cut using a scroll saw. Even today, artists continue to work in this timeless medium. They use their imagination and skills for turning wood into beautiful pieces. And, there is growing demand for hand-made wooden sculptures all around the globe. Especially the artisans from Peru are appreciated worldwide for their mesmerizing work of art and sculpture creation inherited from generations.
Artisans engaged in making wooden sculptures for the home create a variety of art pieces using handcrafting methods including decorative items, nativity sets, folkloric figures, animals, birds, fish, trees, religious, marine life, cats, dogs, etc. There is some special kind of handmade wooden sculpture created to form a dramatic jigsaw puzzle with dozens of unique pieces resulting in a synchronised manner. For those artisans, there is nothing more satisfying than plunking a wooden piece into place. The final art work may be created from segments of walnut, teak, Africa wax wood or many other varieties of wood. Normally, softwood is used to avoid cracks in the chiselling.
It takes lots of hard work, patience, attention to details and imaginative skills to make handmade wooden sculptures. The process begins with the selection of the wood, its preparation, the cutting, sanding, the rounding of the edges, the painting, and the gluing. Each and everything is done by hand. Artisans need to take care of a rigorous quality control to make sure that each work is exclusive and unique.
Nowadays, most of the artisans are making their art pieces available online. It is allowing them to share their art globally and has also made it easy for art lovers to buy the art pieces created by artisans from all across the globe. One can order online for wooden sculptures and wooden wall art pictures online and get them delivered to their door.
