Description
In his cabin nestled in the forests of Asikkala in southern Finland, the 87-year-old Erkki Pekkarinen deftly carves intricate strips of birch bark with his knife. While wood is often seen as a robust and inflexible material to work with, with the right technique, Pekkarinen says that birch bark can be used to make "whatever your imagination will allow."
