Artisan wooden crucifixes by HAPE SculpturesThe artisan wooden crucifixes created by HAPE Sculptures are carved entirely by hand by our master artisan. His 30 years of experience in the fine tradition of woodcarving in Val Gardena/Gröden and his profound knowledge of human anatomy allow us to create artisan wooden crucifixes and woodcarvings of all types and sizes depicting the Body of Christ.
Whether you’re looking for small or large crucifixes to place in a votive shrine or processional wooden crucifixes, HAPE Sculptures always has the right solution for you: our woodcarvings are the epitome of artisan craftsmanship in South Tyrol. Our artisans use varied woodworking techniques to create custom artworks with intricate details to satisfy your every need.
Wooden crucifixes: production and painting
We work together with you to select the type of wood for the creation of your custom wooden crucifixes. Many kinds of wood can be used, from linden to ash. For outdoor use, we highly recommend stone-pine or oak crucifixes, as these types of wood are particularly resistant to the elements.
You’ll be amazed by the mastery of our painters, who use their experience to put the finishing touches to your wooden crucifix. Our skilled polychromists will take care of the decoration and gilding of works of all sizes. They are masters of delicacy and patience, both essential traits when carefully decorating and embellishing precious woodcarvings.
