This breathtaking work of Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre, who seems to have the gift of creepiness, is truly wood sculpturing at its best…check out how intricately detailed his Secret Carpentry  skeleton axe is.

Lasserre’s drawings and sculptures explore the unexpected potential of the everyday and its associated structures of authority, class, and value. Elements of nostalgia, allegory, humor, and the macabre are incorporated into works that induce strangeness in the familiar, and provoke uncertainty in the expected.
