Forest Gnome Baker

The incense smoker Forest Gnome Baker is made from local woods such as pine, beech and ash in the Uhlig woodturning workshop. In this design, the gnome stands at the large oven and holds the bread slider with both hands. He is standing on an oval tray surrounded by a sack of flour, herbs, trees and mushrooms around the stove. On his head he wears a hat with plenty of natural material and a felt brim. The color of the hair and beard depends on the condition of the fur. He has a felt cape over his back.

Forest Gnome with Baker - Handmade by Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig, Germany

For many years, our family has been associated with the traditional art of turning and carving in the Ore Mountains. In 1990 we turned our hobby into a profession and founded our family business, which became a registered craft business in 1993. Just four years later, the old production facility had become too small. We moved to a new building and expanded the range of services.

Committed to tradition, we are inspired by our homeland, the beautiful Ore Mountains. This is how the idea of our gnomes came about, which is characterized by their special beard design made of natural fur. Therefore, each incense smoker is different and has a unique appearance.

We make our distinctive incense smokers from local woods such as pine, ash, and beech. By incorporating natural materials such as cones, branches, moss, berries and felt, we give our gnomes a traditional look. You can usually recognize the real Uhlig smoker gnomes by the special shape of their beards. We always try to preserve the natural structure of the wood, even using parts with a colored design.

We are also happy to fulfill your individual wishes. Take your time and experience a piece of unmistakable Erzgebirge tradition and craftsmanship.
