I carve each Santa by hand in my home studio in Bohuslän, Sweden. With 15 years of experience in traditional woodcarving, every figure reflects hours of careful work and personal attention.

Linden is a classic carving wood—strong yet soft, ideal for holding fine details while offering a beautiful texture and tone. Your Santa is made from a single solid piece and will last for generations.

✅ Free Worldwide Shipping
Your Santa will arrive gift-boxed and ready to display or give. If you order several, I’ll pack them carefully in the same box unless you request separate ones.

💬 From the Maker
"Each Santa I carve is a little different—some cheerful, some wise, all grounded in Scandinavian tradition. When you hold one in your hand, you're holding a story carved in wood."
