Individual wood carving & commissioned work
Hand carved masterpieces
Have your individual motif carved by master craftsmen in Val Gardena!
In addition to nativity figures, saints and angels, we can have practically any motif individually hand-carved for you by one of our artists in Val Gardena in various types of wood (including pine wood, linden).
You can also have models from our range individually designed by our barrel painters.
Selected examples
Abbot's staff made of pine wood
An abbot's staff was carved from pine wood for the Heiligenkreuz Abbey . In the bend is an amplexus depiction (the crucified man detaches his arms from the cross and embraces Saint Bernard; a core scene of Cistercian spirituality). The coat of arms and the motto were carved into the staff at the back of the bend.
Bust as an instrument head made of light pine wood
For a musician, a bust was carved based on an individual model as the instrument head of a lute. The base was hollowed out to the exact dimensions to fit it perfectly to the tip of the instrument.
Company logo carved in lime wood
For a company in the digital platform sector, the company logo was hand-carved out of wood. The large format logo was displayed in the meeting rooms and a smaller version in the offices.
Minion carved from pine wood
The popular character from the animated film "The Minions" was carved by one of our sculptors from wonderfully scented pine wood. Optionally, the base can also be provided with an individual dedication or signature.
Bodybuilder carved from lime wood
Our carvers don't just make figures of saints, angel putti, coats of arms or nativity figures. At the customer's request, a bodybuilder was carved by a wood carver from Ortisei in Val Gardena. To protect the sculpture, a wax was applied after carving to protect the wood.
Wooden carved coat of arms
Elaborately carved coat of arms, based on a historical model, then colored by hand by the barrel painter.
Krampus mask carved in pine
A Krampus mask was carved from pine wood and colored (set) for a customer's business display. We would be happy to carve an individual Perchten mask for you, even based on a photo template.
Nativity figure for a parish church
For a parish's Christmas nativity scene, a matching shepherd was carved from pine to match the existing nativity figures.
