Hainan Yellow Rosewood 'Wood & Light' Series Part 2: Craftsmanship, Ingenuity and Woodcarving Skill

How does the wood ‘speak’, and how does the artisan ‘understand’ it? Days or weeks are spent on just one thing - understanding a piece of #Hainan yellow rosewood. Cut with the grain, reduce force when going against the grain, and when encountering ‘ghost face’ patterns the blade must traverse them like a snake. The artisan’s knife doesn’t create beauty, but instead exposes it. It takes hundreds of polishing strokes to go from matte to lustrous, as well as the combination of time and #craftsmanship. We adapt, not conquer - we engage in a dialogue instead of merely carving. This is how an artisan interacts with wood. #Hainan #IntangibleCulturalHeritage #Culture #YellowRosewood
