A Museum of Elephant wood
carvings ม Sankampang, Chiang Mai.
Founded in 1985 by Mr. Phet Wiriya, who has a strong passion for the art of wood carving. He was a student of the greatest woodcarver in Lam Pang “Kum-ay DejDuangTa” who taught him about carving and suggested him to the beauty and meaningful spirit of Elephants.
After Phet finished learning with his teacher, he got a career in Bangkok to teach prisoner about wood carving. He later came back to his hometown and led a couple of his friends and students who also love and want to learn traditional Lanna Style woodcarving.
Phet started caved everything from earth to sky, animals, fruits and vegetables, Scenery, Human sculpture, etc. and finally the only thingห he love and happy to do was to carve elephant. He stopped everything and went to the zoo, elephant camp and everywhere that elephants live then took the pictures, sketched and drew the picture of elephants in many actions and postures. He also got a suggestion from a famous architect and art supporter, “Mr. Nidhi Satapitanond”, to the way to expressed himself into his work of arts.
On 1988, “Pra-yoon Janyawong” (1915), a famous columnist at that time, visited the house. He was very excited to see a lot of elephant woodcarvings by Phet and his students. He named the place “Baan Jang Nak “, which means a house full of elephants.

Beautiful Elephant Teak Woodcarvings from Chiang Mai, Thailand
While in Chiang Mai Thailand we visited a Teak WoodCarving and furniture shop. I ended up purchasing two nicely detailed elephant teak woodcarvings. The carvings will be shipped as soon as the carvings are repaired and cleaned. At the present the carvings have developed the silver/gray patina since they were exposed to sun and rain while at the shop. Later I will see about restoring the wood back to it’s golden/brownish look and feel. There are a few products on the market for such a task.
The prices I paid for these works of art are considered a bargain, back in the USA the woodcarvings would be very expensive and very difficult to acquire. Years ago I too took up carving as part of my art portfolio, but gave it up due the countless hours one needs to dedicate in order to produce a stunning end product.
