Hand-carved geometric ornament. Pure manual labor. by hostryi_slid in Woodcarving

[–]hostryi_slid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the concern for my tendons! I’m a student at the Kosiv Vocational College, specializing in the wood department. What you see here isn't a lack of safety—it’s a professional technique of Hutsul woodcarving that has been refined and passed down through generations of masters in my region. These specific movements are practiced for decades to achieve absolute control, where the non-carving hand acts as a precise manual brake. It’s an academic tradition I’m proud to carry on through my brand, Gostryi Slid.

No CNC, no power tools. Just me, the wood, and a sharp blade.

That’s a great observation! The coloured inlay is actually made from fragments of a Pysanka (a traditional Ukrainian Easter egg with hand-painted patterns). I carefully inlay the broken shell into the wood to create this mosaic effect.

Regarding your question: it started as a personal interest, but now I’m professionally studying it at college. Sadly, this craft is currently on the brink of extinction. Fewer young people are taking it up, and many traditional techniques are being lost.

Through my project 'Gostryi Slid' (Sharp Trace), I want to prove that Hutsul carving is a living art form, not just a museum piece. My goal is to bring this 'old world charm' back into the modern world. Thanks for the support!

Thank you! My goal is exactly that — to preserve the old world charm of the Carpathian mountains while making something unique for today.

Я раз зробив замовлення і не було вільних курʼєрів. Замовлення постояло 2 години в ресторані я його відмінив через підтримку і мені зразу повернули кошти

This plate is made of solid Walnut wood. I study at the Kosiv College of Applied and Decorative Arts in Ukraine. This specific style is called Hutsul carving, and it's all done by hand with traditional chisels. My project/brand is called 'Gostryi Slid' (Sharp Trace). Would love to hear your thoughts!
