How do they manage to carve wood so perfectly by hand?

Originally a metric fuck ton of practice. Japan had very little iron, they had to be inventive.

For an example of their craftsmanship have a look at Netsuke, the carving is incredibly detailed, these joints are straight forward in comparison although still impressive.

My guess is either:

A) jigs

B) a metric fuck ton of practice

They mostly draw precise cut lines on the wood and use a pull saw.. not as many jigs as you'd think
