Wood-carving like this, with the \u201crose-painted\u201d motifs, I believe is a Nordic tradition. A lot of traditional crafts are surprisingly universal, and this type of pattern came traditionally from Germany. Norwegians made their own version of the acanthus, hence the \u201crose-painting\u201d (which IS painted by the way) The carving is usually left all natural, not painted, and the paintings are usually on flat pieces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16270\" title=\"_MG_3992\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/MG_3992.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"238\"><\/p>\n<p>The wood used is dry, and most of the time very hard to work with.Birch, oak, willow, pine\u2026&amp;nbsp;It requires more muscles than I have for sure!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16272\" title=\"_MG_3993\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/MG_3993.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"437\"><\/p>\n<p>This clock is for you, Michelle! \ud83d\ude09 Isn\u00b4t it lovely?!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16273\" title=\"_MG_3995\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/MG_3995.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"290\"><\/p>\n<p>The project he\u00b4s working on at the moment is this \u201cferda-skrin\u201d Which basically is an old-fashioned suitcase.
