Woodcarving is an ancient activity where one use cutting tool held in the hand, producing a wooden figure or figurine. Woodcarving has been around just about as long as man has been upon this earth. Carving wood into sculpture is an activity older than civilization itself. Wood was amongst the first material used by prehistoric man as tools. Over the centuries woodcarving has undergone lots of changes but has never died. I think, as long as there is wood and there is man, there will be woodcarvings. Here now some of the most inspiring and adorable pieces of wood sculptures made by a Russian artist, Yuri Firsanov.
