Humans have been using wood for a variety of purposes since the dawn of time. From being the first source of fuel to serving as the building material used to craft furniture, weapons, and more, wood has played an important part in the history of civilization. But let's not forget that wood is also used to create intricate works of art. In fact, not many know that woodcarving is one of the oldest art forms in history. It existed ever since Man first began using tools. These days, wood continues to be used creatively in furniture design and architecture, along with sculpture and printmaking.
In the pictures below, we share 11 unique wooden masterpieces created by talented people from all corners of the world. Take a look.
