Wood jewelry box, 'Ashanti Queen'

Meticulously carved and painted by hand, this charming bowl and lid derive from Ghana's Ashanti people. "This is an ancient item used by Ashanti chiefs and queen mothers to keep their rich ornaments. For a long time, these were no longer carved but we don't want them to lose their significance in our culture," Mac Quaye and Raymond Otchere explain.

Mac Raymonds Wood Works

Mac Raymonds Wood Works is a collaboration by brothers Mac Quaye and Raymond Otchere. The enterprise was founded in 1984, after Mac had ventured solely into carving right out of school. His younger brother Raymond, a commercial fruit plantation expert, later pooled his resources with Mac in order to provide expert business assistance. These two great brains, Mac and Raymond, produce the best works, one as the carver, the other product finisher.

Originally Mac trained under one Dr. Oku Ampofo, a medical practitioner and gifted sculptor. Through his masterful guidance, Mac was able to hone his natural talent for the arts, perfecting his carving skills. Thus the creation of different lines of carvings came with enviable ease.

Today the brothers work from their studio and their work has achieved such renown, that many apply to be trained as apprentices under their guidance. Those that have graduated, have gone on to become successful carvers of their own right, but always appreciative of the teachings of Mac and Raymond.
