"I was born in Sukawati, Gianyar in 1970. It seemed natural to work with you, as my brother, Made Wirata, is a woodcarver and my wife, Made Mulyani, crafts masks, and both of them are featured artisans. In the town where I grew up, most people are wood carvers, and so was my family.
"People know me as a humorist, a simple and fully responsible man. From the time I was in fourth grade, I worked and paid my own tuition. I learned wood sculpture by watching my parents. In those days, children began learning the art at a young age and I was not alone. I had many kinship friends at that time.
"By the time I was in senior high school, I was always very late in paying my tuition and my parents couldn't help me because they didn't have the economic means to do so. At the same time, I wasn't getting any orders for my wood carvings. I was so ashamed of my impoverished condition. But going through all of this strengthened my spirit and determination about my own future. I knew I wanted to have a happy family and raise my children in better conditions than I had.
"Finally, I graduated from high school and married the woman who is now my wife. We have two children — a boy and a girl — who are currently in high school. 'My children should have a better life then mine before.' Whispering this sentence always builds my spirit.
"Today, I continue working with wood, but I'm focusing on making vases and classic boxes. I enjoy using the lathe, then carving the objects with manual tools such as chisels, hand-saws and mallets. I give unique finishes to my designs to distinguish them from the others. I believe mahogany is perfect for these designs — it's easy to find and good for the lathe and for carving.
"I'm very excited about showing my designs worldwide, and I hope my dreams and goals for my children will come true."

The workmanship of this sea turtle trio is truly exceptional! My favorite part is the details on the back of the turtles' shells. I originally purchased this for a wall decor in the bathroom but I'm now torn between putting it there or in the main wall of my living room! Very pleased with the purchase!

I don't usually think of a doorstop as decor but this one is eyecatching and cute. So glad I didn't go to the hardware store and pick up one of those rubber triangles!

Very pretty trinket box. It is more decorative than storage box in my opinion. I appreciate the hand carved look. The painting is very pretty.

The Sea Turtle Trio exceeded my expectations. I hung the wooden turtles in my living room and have gotten many compliments on them A great addition to my home. The white wash makes them especially unique and unusual. I would highly recommend this wood relief.

I really like this turtle trio. I moved the hanger so I could hang it above my bathroom door. It looks great there and the colors add interest. One piece I would definitely purchase again.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my BFF. I had it put in wrapping paper, which was free, so I never actually saw the box. My friend raved over the design and the carving was perfectly designed. I am happy that I purchased this item for her
