Such carving works are common and have a long history in East Asia, especially in China, many giant tree stumps are collected and carved according to its natural texture and shape into tea tables or chairs, where it’s also named “tree root carving”, a successful root carving piece is on the base of artistic imagination combined with natural material, judgment, thinking and technology.
