A woodcarver in Vietnam showed off his incredible talents at sculpting decorative Buddha statues in this cool timelapse. <br /><br />The carver's name is Cong, who comes from Kon Tum, and specialises in hand-chiselling wooden statues. <br /><br />Timelapse footage shows Cong sculpting a wooden Buddha statue, which normally takes three days to complete. <br /><br />The wooden statues are often used to decorate homes. Hand-carved wooden figurines are very expensive, and larger statues take more time to produce. The statues are sold for a minimum $500 USD. <br /><br />Finely sculpted and large statues can cost several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the type of wood and size.
