As much as music and art is of vital importance towards the human race lest we forget the importances of the crafts. The Carpenter, seems to be forgotten about in this modern day and era in which technology had mad everything digital and also the need for only an image. The Craft of transforming wood into a 3D image is one that takes time and perfection for people to appreciate the need for wood works. Moreover, the different types of wood works that can be found around the world differs from one country to the next. Within, this context the African wood work tends to be focused on images of the land and also of the warrior. Animals but more particularly safari tourism has attracted a great deal of people to the East of Africa. The need to see lion's, rhinos and also giraffe's continues to keep people wanting more of the animals and the sense of adventure that it brings with a touch of excitement. Nevertheless a modern day African man rains the land in his suit and tie but the warrior image will be remember due to colonisation and also due to the heritage and pride of being a warrior. The Carpenter is able to write history without the needs for words but with the use of his tools to create an ever lasting image that will stay for years.
