All our carvings and sculptures are handcrafted, and a lot of sweat goes into each piece of art delivered. Rosewood is native to Congo, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. The tree produces "wenge", a kind of wood and can have some very interesting featuring, depending on the tree and the cut. It is very common in West African countries and is excellent for carvings/sculptures because of its density, coloration (black, dark brown, mixed black/cream or brown/cream) and brilliant natural sheen.
