I am in Sri Lanka at the moment and found this man carving a Buddha in mahogany by the side of the road in Narigama. He has a good set of carving tools and a nice looking sharpening stone as well as a shop full of interesting pieces.
I bought this unfinished mask from him for Rs 300 (about £1.50!). He said it took him 3 hours to do. If only we were this speedy!
