The beautiful decorative carving on the furniture produced in Bali is done by hand with simple (non-electric) tools.

Here are 2 carvers working outside of furniture stores.
And samples of finished products.

A coffee table with a beautifully carved insert of fish and turtles (designed to fit plate glass over the top for protection).

And a chair with built-in storage.

This 4 poster bed may be from Lombok, a near-by island. They use inlaid shells for deocoration, and I see some across the top of the posts.

This cabinet is definitely in the Lombok style.

This is a tree root carved to create a table. Just set plate glass on top.

An "apple" woven from rattan.

Burl-wood bowls.

Java-style "sofa", carved and painted.
