A Swiss wood carver uses a wood-carving tool and steady hands to create a bird with outspread wings from a block of wood in his shop in the lakeside village of Brienz, Switzerland. Long the center for wood carving in that alpine country, local farmers began the tradition as a way to keep busy in the winter months. Brienz attractions include a wood-carving museum where wood carvers are at work, as well as a wood-carving school established in 1884 that offers a four-year training course in wood carving and sculpting.
