Wood sculpture

Arolla pine is a soft wood, which makes it easy to sculpt, and it is used in the making of furniture and carvings. First the wood is planed, then the parts are assembled and decorated with the help of designs traced on using compasses and it is finally carved using Opinel pocket-knives.

The sculptures have an infinite number of designs, symbolising the daily life of the Queyrassins (suns, roses, daisies and watershed motifs…). This expertise is passed down from generation to generation.
