FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Wooden Angels
Which types of wood are best for carving angels? Linden (lime) and maple are particularly popular. Linden wood is soft and allows for extremely fine carvings, while maple impresses with its light color and fine grain. Stone pine is also frequently used for its pleasant, soothing scent.
Are wooden angels sustainable? Yes. Since wood is a renewable resource and we focus on high-quality, long-lasting processing, our angels are an environmentally friendly and value-retaining alternative to mass-produced plastic items.
How do I properly care for my angel figure? Wood is a living material. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth or a fine brush for the gaps between the wings is sufficient. Avoid moisture and direct proximity to strong heat sources (radiators) to prevent the wood from cracking.
Are angels available in different styles? Yes, our assortment ranges from traditional Baroque angels with gold-decorated wings to modern, minimalist angels that stand out through their clean lines and natural wood grain.
