Strength, hardness, stiffness, and density are the main physical characteristics of wood, a warm material available in nature in an infinite number of variants, even if not all types of wood are suitable for carving. Linden and Swiss pine wood are among the most suitable ones, two kinds of wood with a soft texture and an intense fragrance.
The magic of wood is that, although it often comes in similar colors and shades, each plant is different even when it belongs to the same family. This means that thanks to this enormous variety of choices, wooden sculptures and statues will always be different to one another.
