(Baonghean.vn) - Once considered a strange man because of his unique hobby, now Mr. Vo Van Thinh, Dong Hung hamlet, Nghia My commune, Thai Hoa town, Nghe An has created many handicraft products from seemingly discarded wood, especially products made from coffee tree trunks that many people enjoy.
 |
| Having made a living for more than 5 years now, from just making simple products, Mr. Thinh has now crafted sophisticated products such as Buddha statues, vases... According to Mr. Thinh: The rough lumps of the coffee tree are the expensive motifs for fine art that are difficult to find in other types of wood. |
 |
| To have hundreds of years old coffee trees, he had to go all the way to Dak Lak to buy them (In the photo: Maitreya statue made from Robusta coffee tree roots) |

 |
| To create a complete product, it must go through many stages of processing from cleaning, grinding, milling, drilling, chiseling... All require meticulousness and carefulness. |
 |
| According to Mr. Thinh, there are not always large coffee trees to buy, so depending on the size, he creates different products (In the photo is a tea box carved in the shape of a turtle). |
