Didn't know where to put this and happy for it to be moved if I've picked wrong.

The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

It is so nice to watch them using power tools for the roughout. No prizes for wasting time.
Purist wood carvers have hissy-fits about power tools. I pity them.
The wood seems so featureless and grainless, they're carving in all directions with equal ease.
What do you think? Jelutong, maybe?

The timber wouldn't be Paulownia would it?

Isn't it hinoki (Japanese cypress)
Apologies for unnoticed autocomplete errors.

I was thinking it might be bass wood, it's not Jelutong RV, that chunks off if you hit too hard with a chisel, good to watch the skills though.

I liked to see the odd (to our eyes) shaped chisels.

Looking at the effort the guy put into lifting it off the work bench so he could assemble it I doubt it was Paulownia.

Looks like some sort of cypress to me
its more or less the standard traditional material for temple and shrine joinery along with Japanese elm (zelkova serrata)

Remember the site is xxxxxx.ru which is Russian. Can't see that the techniques are particularly Japanese.
Especially the variety of power tools (Makita, I think) and the thumb planes so typical of a lutheir's work bench.
I guess I agree = not jelutong. If that's Russian basswood, it's the clearest wood I've ever seen.
What I do find really funny is that some of the large shallow gouges, they never bothered to haft those with handles!
Next, the guy is beating away on the bare tangs with a mallet.
