Introduction

The art of making poseable wooden animals and characters has been practiced for generations, with deep roots in folk art and puppetry. The tilt of the head, the position of the arm, or how a leg is folded will suddenly bring a piece to life and give your creation a personality that is not always achievable with a one-piece carving.
