Wood carvings made entirely by hand |

In the last years, the Val Gardena tradition of wood hand carving, which predominantly characterizes the typical handicrafts of the area, has been joined by the mechanical reproduction of wooden statues for mass sale. The industrial production of wood sculptures requires the use of pantograph, a tool which allows to reproduce precise representations on different scales on the basis of a drawing or a template. |

| The production of sculptures by pantograph is much more economical than wood works made by Val Gardena masters and the difference can be detected only by experts. In order to promote all the artistic wooden works entirely carved by hand and safeguard the mastery and creativity of Val Gardena sculptors, since 1969 the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano has been putting the label “Entirely Hand Carved” on wood carvings having this characteristic. |

| In order to highlight the exclusive hand carving of works, wooden sculptures are marked with a small duly registered metal disc which reminds of the Entirely Hand Carved symbol and accompanied by a specially provided certificate of warranty. The metal logo affixed to the sculpture represents a safeguard mark with the function of guaranteeing the exclusive hand carving of wooden artworks. |

| Once a rough-hewn carving is made by the sculptor, the metal disc with the logo Entirely Hand Carved is applied on the sculpture in a particular point of the base by an expert appointed by the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano. As soon as the artwork is finished, the expert performs another thorough assessment and then issues the final authenticity certificate which guarantees the exclusive hand carving of the artwork. |

| The authenticity certificate issued by the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano, committed to the safeguard of South Tyrol typical craft artworks, is a real official document: indeed, each wood artwork bearing the trademark Entirely Hand Carved corresponds to a precise serial number which allows to identify the sculpture in a unique and unequivocal manner. This way the creative craftsmanship of Val Gardena sculptors, who make top quality and high artistic value wood artworks, is safeguarded. |
