Woodcarving as an expression of art in everyday life has developed in many different cultures. In Val Gardena Italy, a small valley in the Italian Dolomites, woodcarving encompasses a large variety of woodcarving topics. The origin of carving wood in Val Gardena Italy and the Italian Alps is thought to be the long winters when the poor Val Gardena Italian farmers carved wooden toys for their children and hand carved gifts for their loved ones. Predominately Catholic, the practice of hand carved gifts naturally inspired hand carved religious items. These included Jesus on a cross, the Virgin Mother, Nativity Mangers, and angel figurines. Meanwhile, hand carving wood led to many other areas of everyday life in Val Gardena Italy and the Italian Alps like Christmas ornaments, family coat of arms, animal figurines, musicians. When certain hand carved gifts became popular in Val Gardena Italy, the artist that carved wooden gifts in Val Gardena Italy began producing duplicates of their hand carved wooden gifts. A hand carved gift purchased at www.wood-carving.eu is a duplicate of an entirely hand carved sculpture. The final step is where the exclusive hand carved gift is hand painted or hand waxed. In www.wood-carving.eu , you will also discover entirely hand carved gift items. Wood carving tradition developed in Gardena Valley in XVII century for the production of wooden utensils. Today the tools used for woodcarvings are still the same, the chisel and the hammer, but wood carvings production has become the most important economic activity in the valley. Thanks to the great tradition of italian wood carving artists, woodcarvings products are well known in every part of the world and Val Gardena has become synonymous with wood carving art.
