Wood Work, Chitral, Pakistan History of wood carving in Chitral is very old. One can find its evidence in almost every house. But not patronizing by the government, it has declined.  Some good artisans have transmitted it to new generation. Mr, Rasool Muhammad of Mori Bala is one of them. He has mastered  his son Rashid in wood carving. The father of Rasool Muhammad; Loot Ustad, was a great master in wood carving. He was very famous in his time. He had decorated so many houses and important government buildings. DC office is one of them. Wali ur Rehaman(late) house situated at Zargarandeh is also decorated by him. This  pic is made by Rasool Muhammad and is showing his aptness in his work.
