The story begins with a slab of wood—silent, waiting. But under the artisan’s touch, that silence is transformed into form, texture, and breath. Every groove tells a tale. Every swirl of the grain carries a whisper of nature and spirit intertwined.

At GIVE, our wood carving process honors both craftsmanship and storytelling. For our latest collection of wall-art artifacts, each piece starts with sketches—dozens of them—refining the vision before the first chisel meets the surface. Then comes the carving, where skill meets soul.

We sculpt delicate lotus blossoms and dragonflies from a single block of wood, drawing inspiration from nature’s serenity and balance. These motifs, deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture, are brought to life through patient, purposeful carving.

Yet the wood is growing rare, and with it, the hands that know how to speak its language. Forests fall quiet. The scent of fresh-cut timber gives way to plastic and speed. If we don’t carve out a new way—one that sustains both nature and craft—we risk losing not only the trees, but the stories etched within them.

One artisan laughed and said, “I carve with four hands—my two, and my feet too.” And it’s true: the dedication runs from fingertip to toe, a full-body devotion to detail. These artworks are not mass-produced. They are slowly summoned into being—etched with care, balance, and a quiet reverence.

All made with responsibly sourced wood and hand-finished to preserve its natural essence, these are more than decorations.

They are living echoes of the forest—sacred grains that speak.
