His pieces showcase exquisite skill, with carvings enhancing the natural beauty of woods like beech, cherry, and plum. In our family, my grandfather used to do woodwork, but very little, Armen remembers. I was six when he passed away. When I was a child, I liked working with sharp tools. During my military service, I saw how wood was carved. After the service, I came back and made my tools with my own hands. Then I started making woodwork. I was admitted to Sisian Art School in 1989. I studied there for five years, and my woodcarving career started from there. I spend my days in my workshop. I come here at sunrise, and in the evening I am at home. Weekends are rest time. I mainly work with whittling tools. I have many tools; all of them are different. Each of them makes unique cuts round, triangular, oblique, flat. The work starts from the wood. It is cut and dried. The wood shrinks one centimeter per year. After that, you need to know which part must be processed, so that the detail demonstrates the forms and patterns. For making a simple ring, it takes me at least two hours. After smoothing the ring and processing it with six types of sandpaper, we polish it. I work with apricot, cherry, plum, and beech tree woods. I have recently started working with Canadian oak. In my workshops, I accept different visitors both locals and foreigners. Sometimes I do master classes for them, and they repeat the processes on their own with great enthusiasm. You should make it even if it gets smashed and breaks. You should make it to get the result and learn its value. This work requires patience. It energizes me. Otherwise, I wouldn't do this job. A hobby, peace of mind, freedom… that's what life is all about. The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported"
