Welcome to the wood carving shop of Bjoern Koehler and its sortiment of artistic wood creations. Among the sortiment, is the renowed series of nativity figures, available in two sizes (4.7 inches and 7.1 inches in height) in its natural wood color, but also in a fine color glaze.
The nativity figures facinate and please not only on account of the high artisan skills inherent in the product, the clean configuration, but also due to the silken surface which is pleasing to your touch.
The natural beauty of the materials, enhanced by the natural characteristics of the wood grain, provide a uniqueness to the various characters.
All our creations, including our nativity figures, are available only in annual limited quantities.

Willkommen im Sortiment der Eppendorfer Werkstatt von Bjoern Koehler
Dazu gehoert natuerlich die bekannte Serie der gedrechselten Krippefiguren, die es in zwei Groessen (12 und 18 cm) und neben der Ausfuehrung in natur auch mit einer feinen Farblasur gibt.
Dank der hohen, handwerklichen Fertigungsqualitaet faszinieren die Figuren durch ihre klare Gestalt und die handschmeichelnde, seidenmatte Oberflaeche.
Die natuerliche Schoenheit des Materials unterstuetzt durch seine ausdrucksvolle Maserung den unverwechselbaren Charakter der kleinen Unikate. Wie alle unsere figuerlichen Kompositionen werden auch die Krippefiguren nur in einer jaehrlich limitierten Auflage gefertigt und sind deshalb nicht unbegrenzt lieferbar.

Tradition from the Ore Mountains
The history of the Ore Mountains was largely shaped by the mining of its rich deposits of ore following the arrival of the first human settlements. The mining of ore became one of the main ways for people in the region to earn a living back in the 12th Century.
However, when the deposits of tin, silver and copper began to dwindle in the mid-17th Century and mining became increasingly insignificant, many miners were forced to turn their hand to activities like wood-carving and lathe work in order to make a living. Nevertheless their mining activities provided an endless source of subjects to be depicted in wood in the evenings. Typical varieties oflocal craftsmanship such aes creating wood-shaving trees made arts and crafts from the Ore Mountains worid-famous.
These traditional techniques and designs continue to be nurtured with great love and creativity.
