Process
To carve an alebrije, the wood that is worked is copal and the resin is used for incense, but different woods such as walnut, willow, cedar, sabino, and tree roots are also used, once the appropriate wood is selected, we see the shape, if it is curved, we carve the piece for one or several days depending on how complicated the piece is.
