Forest Gnome Cone Collector green

Description of the Forest Gnome Cone Collector green: The incense smoker is made from local woods such as pine, beech, and ash; handmade in the Uhlig woodturning workshop. In this design, he holds a cone stick in his left hand and a lantern in his right. On his head he wears a hat with plenty of natural material and a felt brim. He wears a felt cape over his back and stands with his boots on a round disc covered with herbs. The colour of the hair and beard depends on the texture of the fur.

Forest Gnome Cone Collector - 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.
