Bavarian Wood Carving

Post by delong94 »

I had the opportunity to visit the city of Oberammergau in Germany last month. It is home to the Bavarian State Woodcarving School. I heard that over 120 carvers work there. Attached are some photos of the craftsmanship displayed throughout the town. These are only a sample of what I viewed in the city. The carvings are impressive. You can find more about the area at: http://www.bavaria.us/oberammergau-hand ... ia-germany.
