We make Nutcracker story Figures, Santa Figures, Religious eggs, Nativity scenes, Christmas ornaments, Nesting dolls, wooden boxes.
We are a husband and wife team of Ukrainian wood workers.
We start with blocks of linden wood carefully chosen by us to ensure that we use the highest quality wood.
After the wood is chosen it undergoes a drying process that lasts anywhere from 6 months to 1.5 years depending on the size of the block.
After the wood has been dried we begin to carefully hand carve the wood to get the proper shape of each of our products.
After they are carved out to our liking we can then begin to paint the designs on each of the nesting dolls with our natural hand made child safe paint.
My name is Isai Aleksandrovich, I was born in small Ukrainian village in 1952 in family who made the wooden craft for generations. I start to carve wooden craft at 11 years old, then I finish art school ( specialty icons).
In 1990 I came to USA with my wife and new born daughter. My wife finished art school too. We decided to continue my family tradition to show people beauty of wooden craft.
