Sometimes, it’s not what you eat — it’s how you eat it. Ukraine-based woodworker Kirill Babii produces hand-made wood utensils – minimalistic instruments that are used for eating, but also, for admiring. According to his website, his utensils are made out of two types of wood: walnut and apricot tree. Both beautiful and strong, these types of wood are made to last.

“I don’t cut down trees for the wood I need,” Babii explained in an interview with the Etsy blog. Instead, he collects fallen trees and logs cast off from construction sites, making his work both sustainable and waste-free. “I also try to be as efficient as possible with how I use the wood I have,” he notes. “I don’t necessarily think that we must only use natural materials in our lives, but I do think we should be quite careful about which materials we use and how our choices influence our life and the life of our surroundings.”

“I like working with my senses,” says Babii, “the materials, and the function and requirements of the piece to create the best possible combination—something that distills the very best of everything and keeps only the most necessary elements. Sometimes good design happens fast and coincidentally, but often it’s the result of long and hard work with a lot of fails. But it’s always so inspiring to create. It’s the most valuable time in my life.”

According to Babii, he’s most inspired in the mornings, when he goes for his daily run through the fields and mountains — rain or shine. “I like mornings so much,” he says, “they are births, beginnings, full of energy and opportunities.” He also feels inspired while designing, realizing an idea and then bringing it to life.

Take a look at some of his products/art pieces in the gallery below:

Jeffro Uitto is an artist who creates beautiful sculptures from wood which he founds on the beaches of Washington State, USA. Better known as Knock on Wood on social media, the artist says that he always loved collecting wood, he has been doing it since his teenage years, especially driftwood that had patterns beaten into them by the waves.

“It’s really nature-inspired, the love and curiosity for the subjects and the infinity of materials,” Uitto shared to Bored Panda. “It’s really humbling to see how many people connect with the work. It’s also important to bring attention to these animals, their mysterious beauty and the extinction they face.”

Horses, eagles, rhinos, lions and other animals are all carved by the tools that are handmade by the artist himself.

Uitto shares his remarkable work on his Instagram account where he has gathered over 38.7 thousand followers and has hundreds of likes on each post.

Phil Young is a woodwork artist that creates an illusion with wood, making it seem bendable and stretchable. All his works focus on a single piece of wood which has been carved to look squashed or twisted. He uses nails or metal rings to hold them in place.

The pieces are strung together carefully, and each raw material is shaped and grained until the work is finished.

Young evokes a shocking degree of emotions even though his work is non-representational. The pieces appear to be under pressure and this is what makes it unique. Young is inspired different places where beauty cannot be found such as diseases, surgery and wrinkled skin and attempts to beautify them.

The art pieces create a form of illusion that leaves the viewers wondering what it is. You can see some of his work in the gallery below.

Lingl-Rebetez discovered the artistic use for a chainsaw since a young age and is now creating impressive and highly detailed wooden sculptures of animals. While it may be an unusual tool, according to this France-based sculptor, the chainsaw is more effective than traditional sculptor knife, and he uses it from the beginning to the end of the sculpture making process.

Lingl-Rebetez sculptures are highly appreciated in the art world and are a valuable part of both private and public art collections all around the world.
