Wood carving is perhaps one of the oldest types of handicrafts. Everywhere in the world we can see beautiful pieces of carving. On my travels in the Near East and Middle Asian countries I have often seen master pieces that have been created with only one knife, or not more than 1-3 knives. The workshops are often small or the carvers just sit on a stool in front of a small shop. Sometimes they do not even have a table.
The Arabs love colours and many times the carvings are beautifully painted with natural colours, especially if they are used as panels.
