Modern wood figurines

Decades ago, the Dolfi Company needed a great deal of carving wood. It was difficult to properly dry this wood. Outdoors, the drying process took much too long (five years, on the average.) Frequently, the wood would get spotty or an undesirable grain. Often, round woods and thick boards were no longer suitable for carving.

Several years ago, our factory acquired an excellent indoor drying installation. It was the newest and most high-performance vacuum drying installation in South Tyrol, and was planned and developed in co-operation with our company so that our modern wood figures and wood carvings could be dried more efficiently.

The new technical drying process is much faster than drying in the open air. The wood's color and texture are of superb quality. The drying process is completely uniform, and the wood – which is intended exclusively for modern wood figures – is always properly stabilized.

The Dolfi Company needs not only wood carvers, painters, and gold finishers. It also needs designers and graphic artists capable in particular of elaborating designs for new carvings. The chief demand on the world market is for modern wooden figures and modern wood carvings, according to Junior Manager Matteo Comploi.
