Those are all very enjoyable to see! Some of the art involved is splendid, and I detect a gentle sort of humor in others. Thanks for posting them!

- Thank You.
  
  You are so right when saying humor. For example the last one is showing a beer in its hands a beer stein in tavern. Well, it actually was a tavern of an inn.

Belles et impressionnantes sculptures ! Quel bois ? du bouleau (birch tree) certainement et des épicéas. Chacune a son style et demande un grand talent et beaucoup de travail.Merci de nous faire voyager à travers la Finlande et ses artistes 🙂

- Bonjour Isa.
  
  Eh bien, je ne sais vraiment pas du quel bois elles ont été faites, peut-être tu as droite. Beaucoup de cettes photos sont anciennes, les plus anciens viennent de 2005. J’admire toujours ce genre d’art, parce qu’ils sont faits par des gens ordinaires. Cettes deux derniers sont nouvelles et j’aime beaucoup ce ours qui boit.
  
  Bonne fin de semaine.

All of these are wonderful wooden carvings in which shows detailed patterns of the wood! I especially like the wooden carved picture of the man in his shop by Kyla Seppa. It takes patience, the right cutting and artistic endeavor for these carvings. Beautiful!

  Thank You. That Kyläseppä means “Village blacksmith”. The place was former the place of a blacksmith. Later owner’s one son transformed it into a service station, restaurant, shop, forging plant etc. One of the owners made this triptych which is presenting our living style from the past at country side.

Good morning, Matti,
All Figures are very beautiful, also your pictures too.
Each carving is unique in its own way and especially admirable. The lion is as the king of animals, a great introduction to the series. All bears seem, in its imposing size, very impressive. The images, from top to bottom, 1/2/3/4/5/6/11/12/13/18/19/20/22/23/24/35/36/37/38, I liked particularly well. If I had a big garden, I would set up all the wood carvings. In our vacation we were looking at an event to a wood carver at work. He worked the wood with a chainsaw and cut an interesting figure from it. This work was a big chicken on a motorcycle with sidecar and passenger. I photographed it. More in an e-mail in the next few days. I am grateful that I could look at this series. Thank you also for your nice comments in my blog.
We wish you and Anya, a nice weekend and all the best on your daily routes.
Dear greetings Christel

Hello Matti,
Ils sont partout !! 😀 J’aime beaucoup l’ambiance qu’ils créent autour de la maison rouge.
Les bas reliefs (18-19-20) sont d’une grande finesse.
Et le dernier ours qui “a mis sa main à couper” est bien étonnant !
Le bois est décidément à l’honneur.
Bon dimanche

  La maison rouge est un café; huit heures au nord de ma maison. J’ai la visité quelque fois quand je vais au nord. Il existe à proximité une immense plage de sable (Kalajoki), peut-être le plus important dans le Nord.
  
  Merci beaucoup de ta visite.

  I guess that You are so right. I have collected these during many years from every part of my country. By looking carefully at my photos, one can easily to find out that there has been change of cameras. Sometimes it is “funny” that when I am driving and then I see some of these, I have to stop my car and to drive back.
  
  Thank You commenting “my wooden creatures”.

All of them were quite a sight, but I really enjoyed the lion, the very first photo the best. Sure is a lot of work put into these things.

Thank you for another wonderful set of photographs. I love wood: wooden figures, boxes, carvings. It’s such a tactile medium. I especially liked the wall carving of the blacksmith.

Hei, Matti! I really enjoyed seeing the carvings. Tell me, please, in your opinion, is carving large and small still as prevalent in Finland?

Comment by Yvonne — March 7, 2013 @ 20:21 | Reply
- Hei Yvonne.
  
  Thank *You. You made a good question, but I am not able to answer to it. On my travels to the northernmost part of Finland, called Lapland, I have found huge amount of carvings there. When seeing the matter in this light, I can only say that caving in life in Finland.
  
  In my many posts presenting Finland from here and there You can find more carvings. Here is one example:
  
  Beyond the Arctic Circle 2 / Más allá del Círculo Polar Ártico 2 / Au-delà du Cercle arctique 2.
  
  Have a wonderful day!

Take care and greetings from Nova Scotia

- Hello restless-roots.
  
  Thank You for Your praising comment. I have had blogger ( Queens new life in Canada ) many years ago when I started blogging who lived in Lunenburg! Therefore, I have some idea about it. I remember when she told about Bluenose and Bluenose II. Although Finland is much more to the North, than Helsinki for example, landscapes have similarities. Lunenburg is very beautiful with is colorful houses!
  
  Have wonderful day!
