Their textures look nearly like fur and feather, giving them a much softer appearance than their true woody nature.

“It’s not too interesting to do what others can. To create something out of nothing in a completely new way is far more inspiring.”

To create his artwork, Bobkov has developed his very own technique that he has patented to prevents wood-chips from falling apart.

First he chips off strips of the Cedar into 100-150 slices, averaging about 2-3 inches long per piece, and softening them by soaking them in water for several days.

He then hand carves the pieces into any shape and texture he needs.

Bobkov focuses on wildlife creatures, and he studies their anatomy, habits, and movements for months, in order to build accurate depictions of the animal before starting work on the sculpture. The results of his hard work are these spectacular and quite realistic creations.

Bobkov spends 10-12 hours a day working on a sculpture, with no days off. Each piece can take around six months to complete.

The artist has made 15 life-sized wooden sculptures featuring Siberian wildlife so far, created for a school exhibition in a local Siberian school in Kozhany, southwest of Krasnoyarsk.

None of Sergey’s artworks are for sale in spite of that he was offered five hundred thousand rubles (more than $17,000) for his Eagle.
