      Dying art: Fourth-generation woodcarver Barac of North York puts a lot of work into creations such as this wooden altar. While he gets a great deal of joy out of his work, he is also saddened by the fact that his craft is drying. The native of Yugoslavia has spent 14 months carving this altar, which will sit in a church in Yorkton, Sask.
