A life-sized owl sculpture made from cutting chips

Artist Sergei Bobkov, 54, adjusts a sculpture of life-sized marten made from cutting chips from the Siberian cedar at an exhibition of his works in a local school in the settlement of Kozhany, 207 km (129 miles) southwest of Krasnoyarsk, September 5, 2011. Bobkov, who received a patent on manufacturing art sculptures made of cutting chips, spent eight months creating the two martens, using about 150 thousand pieces of Siberian cedar. He has made a total of 15 life-size wooden sculptures of Siberian birds and animals.[Photo/Agencies]
