Wood Carving

By Mushir @Nethaat

The art of wood carving in Kashmir is incredibly beautiful and distinctive. It is made out of walnut wood that does not grow in any other part of the country. Walnut wood is preferred as it is a soft but durable variety of wood, with a unique sheen. The wood work of Kashmir is known all over the world for its intricate artistry. Kashmir is one of the few places that can cultivate walnut at the altitude of 5500 feet above sea level.
