I did not really undergo any actually training, but started carving bit by bit and sometimes sought help from my other colleagues. Sometimes I assisted them too. Eventually I became very skilled in carving and I then decided to settle for full time carving and depend solely on my own ideas to carve. Now I have assistants and I also train other carvers.'...
