"FROM THE CIRCUS TENT" presented by Fedor Ballakh We received this image from St. Petersburg, Russia from Fedor Ballakh, a fine sculptor who has visited our site with his work before. This carving uses no stains, the colors are achieved by using different woods. In this case Fedor used maple, beech, ottenkov(?), sapele, wenge, dark and light walnut , pear, and amaranth gluing the pieces together and then carving them. Thank you Fedor for sharing this with everyone.
