Shagzo (ཤགས་བཟོ་) refers to the tradition of wood turning and is a well-known sector of folk crafts in Bhutan. Although it is a common field of arts and crafts, it is normally included within wood carving when the thirteen traditional arts and crafts are listed in Bhutan. [...] The practice of wood turning is most commonly found in the upper parts of the district of Tashi Yangtse today although it was also practiced in other parts of Bhutan. Wood turning is mainly practiced to produce cups, plates and other wooden utensils from the special zachye (རྫ་ཕྱེ་) burl and other forms of burrs found in trees such as maple, rhododendrons, alder, oak, eaglewood and avocado.
