The time has arrived to close this little series of stories. On to the 7th day of the recent East Coast trip. Continuing from the article Bringing friends to the tomb of Tok Gajah.
Monday 5th September 2016. After spending a night at a friend's place in Kuantan we continued our journey home. But not without taking another detour. This time we made a stop at a workshop in a rural village in Temerloh.
It is a woodcraft workshop operated by a friend which me and wife recently got to know in Kuala Lumpur during the Syawal (Muslim calendar) festive season about 2 months ago.
He is a renowned woodcarver who has represented Malaysia in a number of international competitions. He told us to stop by his workshop if we happen to pass anywhere near Temerloh.
The workshop was submerged during the big flood which ravaged many places in the state of Pahang last year. Many carving were carried by floodwater before getting submerged in thick mud. The pieces are then salvaged and recovered. The owner agreed to give us hefty discount on our chosen items.
