Adi Andoko is a woodcarver in Jepara, Indonesia. His amazingly detailed work has been going viral on the Internet, and once you see it, there is no surprise why.

“I was born in Jepara and worked as a wood carver with my uncle until I starting doing woodcarver it myself,” he says.

The work includes spectacular tableaux of village scenes and Indonesian rural life. There is not much detail on line about what woods he uses or specifics about his tools or techniques, but the work speaks for itself.
