John – old carvings are quite a specialist topic and the wood tends to vary depending on the geographic location. Better quality carvings will tend to be hardwoods like camphor or even rosewood.

Jochen,

These places do not exist on any maps nor will any drivers know how to reach them. They also change location from time to time as well. Also the suppliers here do not speak English and many in fact speak local dialects of Mandarin which makes communication difficult for the uninitiated. The items here are also unrestored and you would need your own restoration facility before they would be of any use. Feel free to contact us and we might be able to assist you.

Thank you.
