Wood
Carpentry is perhaps the most beautiful building craft, and the second most important after stone masonry. The carpenter shaped round timber into rough and finer pieces that fit together in the construction as if they had grown together without the use of any modern technologies. Apart from the preparation of wood and production of wooden elements, he had to know how to delimit and found a construction. He also knew how to build a whole wooden construction himself. He used special axes including adzes, broad axes, bearded axes, hatchets, face axes (lícovka) or nail axes (pobíječka). The constructions that will be part of the complex or the elements that will have to be replaced in the constructions will be made by experienced carpenters using old methods. On the other hand, woodcarving is a utility and art craft of shaping wood on a small and fine scale into items for everyday use or decoration. Woodcarvers use chisels and knives. Even complete beginners can learn the craft in our woodcarving course.
