Our Carvers

Originally from the North, where good education and good work are hard to find, Pekak has lived with Komang for 7 years.  In that time, Komang has taught him the art of carving and therefore given him a skill that has helped build his future.  Like a brother to us, Pekak is somewhat of an assistant manager and takes his work very seriously.  From cutting, to carving, to polishing, he knows every aspect of our production and has become Komang's right hand man.  Twenty-eight years old and always wearing a smile, Pekak recently got married in late December. Congratulations!!! Thank you...
