Religious wood carvings have had 400 years of history in the Philippines as the Spanish conquistadors brought the Catholic religion and Christian Faith to the Islands in the 1500’s.  All carvings are made 100% by hand of local hardwood.  The carvers are deeply religiously inspired by their work.  They have the unique talent of envisioning the sculptures and forming the wood as the angels begin to appear and take shape in the wood.  Holding one of these wooden masterpieces in your arms is holding the accumulated talent and evolution of 400 years of woodworking experience that has been passed down from the generations of the master wood carvers.  Other countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and China produce some handmade wood carvings, but none have masters in religious artwork, and none possess the quality skills of the best Philippine carvers.  Most other carvings are much simpler and lack the fine detail, as these handmade wooden angel carvings possess.  Take careful note of the finely detailed angelic faces and solemn expressions of these inspiring religious wooden figurines.

These handmade wooden religious carvings are artwork at its finest.  The labor of love and inspiration clearly is seen in each of their angelic faces.  Don’t confuse these finely crafted labor intensive art masterpieces with a cheap plastic or resin molded angel.  Those angels can be produced by the 1,000’s easily and quickly.  All they need is the angel mold.  Our handmade wooden angels have a very limited production capacity, as we only use the best wood carvers in the world.  We refuse to operate our woodworking facilities on a large scale production and employ substandard carvers just to mass produce lower quality carvings.

Different types of wood are used for carving.  For religious statues (including angelic figurines, Virgin Mary figurines, statues of Catholic Saints, Jesus Christ statues, Madonna sculptures, and Christmas nativity scene figurines), the type of wood that has been used for 400 years, and what we use, is called Baticuling.  It is the wood of choice because it is naturally termite resistant and is a hardwood.  To further prevent decay, wood treatment has been done with a treatment called “solidnum”.

Angels and the study of angelology gives us a variety of types and forms of angels such as angel of grace, angel of mercy, angels with harps, angels in flight, Christmas angels, cupid, fallen angels, angel of death, annunciation angels, angel gabriel, St. Michael the archangel, guardian angels, heavenly angels, musical angels, seraphim, choir of angels, archangels, baby angels, biblical angels, and cherubs (angels without bodies).

Our fine angelic carvings make perfect inspirational gifts for that special person in your life.  Few other gifts could compare to the beauty in these handcrafted pieces of art.  Typical Protestant Christian book stores and Catholic supply businesses sell tons of cheap plastic, resin and ceramic angel figurines, angel sculptures, and angel statues all assembly line stamped out or molded in large factories in China.  They may be fine angel collectable gifts for the masses of people, but if you care enough for someone to provide something special and truly meaningful, nothing can compare to one of these hand made wooden angels.  We have noticed people’s natural response to spontaneously touch these beautiful angels since they are made from wood with such precision and so labor intensive.  A cheap plastic molded angel made in China doesn’t give the same effect.  There are virtually no other angel craft gift sellers in the world that provide angelic artwork of this caliper and detail.  Gazing into the eyes of these angelic beings, and feeling their facial expressions is a relaxing and solemn experience.  The mere presence of one of these wooden angel carving masterpieces is enough to reduce tension in everybody around.  These angelic sculptures are truly religious works of art to be loved and appreciated for generations to come.  Let that special person in your life know you cared to give the very best gift.
