Abdul Wahab: The Artisan of Kunar's Timeless Wood Carving Tradition. In the heart of Kunar province, known for its rugged beauty and rich cultural heritage, lives Abdul Wahab, a master craftsman dedicated to the art of wood carving. Born and raised in the scenic valleys of Kunar, Abdul Wahab was inspired from a young age by the natural beauty around him and the centuries-old traditions of his homeland. He honed his skills in Asadabad, the bustling capital of Kunar, where he learned the delicate craft of carpentry and wood carving under the guidance of seasoned artisans. This skill requires precision and a deep understanding of the wood's character and the stories it can tell. Today, Abdul Wahab leads a dedicated team of 14 to 15 artisans, all committed to preserving Kunar's traditional wood carving techniques. In their Asadabad workshop, they transform blocks of wood into works of art—each piece crafted with patience and care. Their creations range from ornate furniture to decorative pieces that reflect the rich history and culture of Kunar. About six to seven months ago, Abdul Wahab Wooden Production partnered with Aseel, a company focused on bringing traditional Afghan crafts to a global audience. This collaboration has allowed Abdul Wahab and his team to reach customers far beyond Kunar's borders. Through the Aseel website and store, people from around the world can now purchase their products, each one carrying a piece of Kunar's soul. This partnership marks a new chapter for Abdul Wahab, one where the ancient art of wood carving from Kunar can be shared with the world, preserving the rich cultural heritage of his homeland for future generations.
