Our wood-carved statues are produced in the world renowned Val Gardena region in Northern Italy.  Woodcarvings are valuable for their timeless beauty, becoming more precious with age.  Wood itself is loved for its warmth.  The character of wood is always preserved whether left in its natural state or lightly finished in oil colors.

The wood used to create our fine works is called Linden wood or also Lime wood.  It is imported from Eastern Europe, cut and kiln dried as needed to ensure only the best quality pieces are used.

Linden wood is perfect for carving since it is not too hard, fairly white in color and, when professionally dried, does not crack like pine wood.  And since we use only the trunk to the first branches, the wood has no knots.  Each statue is made out of different laminated wooden pieces.

Wood more than any other material used for statues is conducive to custom work.  The highly skilled artisans have produced countless custom wood-carvings.  If the statue you are looking for in wood is not a standard model we can without a doubt produce it as a custom piece.  Please contact us for further information.  Also please visit our Custom Wood-carvings section to see some samples of their work.
