About half of those carvings were made prior to 1940 in finnish karelia. And now you call them russian? Fuck you, and fuck your offsprings.

Finnish Karelia? Did they ever start?
Just kidding, shut up and go make me a cell phone.
These look like the sort of things that lower class people collect along with glass bongs and faux samurai swords - very distasteful.
you are obviously a lower class moron! have u ever heard of a thing called art? clearly not
This is not art.
It is great craftsmanship, but not more than the sum of its parts, which is what defines art (among other things). A photo realistic drawing (or wood carving) is not more than a representation of the subject, and therefore not ‘art’ but at it’s best ‘artistic’.
Despite that, this is great craftsmanship. Beats sitting behind a computer and writing dumb comments… duh!
Yeah, that.
Skilled craftsman, nice handiwork, but e.g. the cheap clockwork degrades the pieces to plain kitsch.
Wow! Great works!

WOW!!! WONDERFUL!!! In my country, Vietnam, you cqn get such masterpieces also, thing is that the representations are different ( culture :p)
Even using modern electric tools, these would be very difficult, challenging carvings. It must have required long painstaking effort to create these amazing works.
I really liked that post, I am a little puzzled, and have a tiny question. May I send you an email?
