Ebony, also known as ebony and ebony, is a semi-deciduous plant, and most of its leaves will fall off in the dry season. Its survival ability is extremely strong, it can adapt to all kinds of climatic environments, and even when the fire destroys grassland and other plants, they can be safe and sound. Its heart is black, and its skin is two centimeters khaki. You can't tell it's black wood from the outside. As long as there are such trees in Central Africa and they are not forests, only a few trees are needed in each forest. Blackwood has a high density, which will sink in water and is also very strong. Therefore, people who sell wood carvings often use knives to crush the base of wood carvings. It can be seen that even sharp blades can't leave scratches on the wood, which proves that it is worthy of the name. Sometimes in workshops or shopping malls, you will see craftsmen or businessmen painting shoe polish on black wood carvings. Don't be surprised. Doing so can make the whole work more shiny and charming, not all deceptive and shoddy.
Black woodcarving is valuable, and Kenya's woodcarving art has made great achievements. Every work can be called a work of art, without molds or assembly lines. They come from the creator's investigation, fantasy and a pair of skillful hands, and they are all unique. The choice of things is axe, chisel, file and sandpaper, without any mechanical equipment. From conception and material selection to carving, grinding and polishing, there is a whole set of messy working procedures, which require a lot of time and sweat. Most of the creative themes are traditional schools such as wild animals and Marseilles, and many of them are endowed with modernity and general colors. Carving lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and bison are the most common wild animals, while giraffes, antelopes, warthogs and so on. , are vivid, lifelike. Holding a spear and shield, wearing red clothes, a slender figure and a clean face, the Marseille woodcarving is worth preserving.
