At Biscay Timber, we support local artists who work with wood. We provide wood to local artists to use as raw material for their artistic projects. We also supply students so they can take their first steps in the art of wood carving to create sculptures and other techniques that use this material.
Those dedicated to carpentry and cabinet making can also rely on us to provide them with the necessary raw materials to carry out their craftworks in local wood.
Wood as a source of creativity
Throughout our history, we have used wood to create works of art. It is a raw material that awakens our creativity and has led us to create all types of objects of great symbolism, artistic and religious value. From masks, altarpieces, images of gods and totems to busts or other ornamental figures.
A high-density wood that does not splinter easily is usually chosen to be able to work more comfortably. Although Biscay Timber offers a wide variety of wood types to choose from.
Eco-friendly art
Among all the materials available for artistic creations, wood is the most eco-friendly raw material. It doesn’t require too many chemicals to keep it in good condition or to mold, color, and preserve it over time.
Using locally-sourced wood also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
Another form of art that utilizes wood is the craftsmanship of the carpentry and woodworking sector. Working wood by hand, crafting furniture or custom pieces, can also be considered art due to the uniqueness achieved. Ultimately, local wood craftsmanship is a unique activity worth supporting to keep alive the creativity of small artists who are skilled experts in wood.
