Happy New Year to all our Chinese friends

A prosperous and Happy New Year to all our Chinese friends, associates and clients. Also in the year of the wooden Sheep we continue to work for you with dedication. Our name, STAMM means the trunk of a tree. Like this Chinese artist we aim to bring a simple piece of tree trunk to its perfection. Logistics is an art if handled by the skilled and dedicated.

One tree, four years of work and an indescribable amount of talent: that’s what it took to create this incredible masterpiece. A famous Chinese wood carver chopped down a single tree and tirelessly worked on it for over four years to make this piece. It all started out with a simple tree trunk.

The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago

It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so incredibly detailed.

That was 8,760 hours well spent. Share this awesome work with others.
