Customers are often amazed at the quality and brightness of the sculptures on Ethnik-Art.com Many admit to having bought a wooden sculpture on the internet, but say that the quality of our products is incomparable to what they have. This is quite understandable ! We do not buy ordinary quality parts, we meet and select the best craftsmen for work of excellent quality and finish. All our sculptures are hand cut. There are different types of wood used in the production of sculptures, depending on the availability and durability of the wood in each region. The most commonly used are ebony, mahogany, and teak. Ebony is very common in West African countries and is excellent for sculptures because of its density, color (black, dark brown) and natural brilliance. Teak, and mahogany woods are often used for carvings where coloring is required because of their ability to absorb dye.
