For gift ideas that are original and individual,
many people have collected wood carvings from Christine
Coffman's artwork collection. Her wood carving skill is
used in many different aspects of gift giving, and
makes excellent gifts for all ages.
Christmas ornaments, which can be used on the
tree or as "out all year" figures, are very
often used for gifts. Collectors can find many wood carvings
of their interests, such as cats, bears, "noggins" and
Santa ornaments. Often the tiny child ornament
is the first Christmas ornament given to the new
grandchild. There are boy ornaments, girl
ornaments, or "just a little baby" ornaments.
The ornaments are dated with the year, or on
request the full date of birth could be used.
Gifts Tailored to Collector's Needs
Because Coffman designs her own work, gifts can be tailored to a collectors needs. For those persons looking for an original Nativity scene, or crèche, to give as a Christmas present to the Nativity set collector, or as a gift idea any time of the year, this site may be the answer to their Nativity search.
Christmas Carvings Available For Immediate Shipment!
Please click the above link to see Christine's carvings that are now
available. More figures will be added to each of the new Nativity
groupings, A through D. Even the simple single carving of Baby Jesus
will be developed into a many figured Nativity, possibly with animals,
maybe with small children gathered round. Sets of the Three Wise Men,
Shepherds with sheep, and more Angels will be added to the other
Nativity sets. These groupings will be sold as an entire set or can be
sold separately, as long as specific pieces that obviously go together
are not separated, for example, the Three Wise Men always go as a set,
as do Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.
If you are interested in one of these Nativities and would like to be
specific as to what other Nativity figures should be added, please
contact me to discuss this. Left on my own, I try to create Nativities
that have a variety of poses which add interest to the overall finished
artwork.
Nativity Sets
Nativity sets that set the scene using only
figures and simple palm tree backgrounds are
Coffman's specialty. She uses wood carving to
create Nativity figures that would be better
described as miniature sculpture, rather than
simple craft pieces. Each Nativity crèche is
created to show an emotion that could have been
felt at the manger scene. Each figurine is
carved with the same care, be it the Baby Jesus
or a shepherd. Sometimes the scene reflects joy,
or awe or contentment. Sometimes the set will
suggest an air of excitement and expectation.
Sometimes it becomes a Nativity scene showing of
a little of each of these emotions.
Interchangeable Nativity Set Pieces
Coffman also tries to create separate pieces that can be interchanged among the Nativity sets, so clients can feel they are creating their own scene.
Hand Carved Santa Claus Figures
Hand carved Santa Claus figures are also a popular choice for gift giving. They come in all sizes from 2 inches tall to 16 inches tall. The Santa Claus wood carvings can be for collectors or for Christmas decoration. They are signed and dated and many persons enjoy getting one as a gift or for themselves each year.
Order Christmas Gifts Early!
Christmas gifts should be ordered far in advance. These wood carvings are all hand carved by one person and you can't hurry hand carving, at least not with good results. Christmas Crèches especially should be discussed well before the gift giving Christmas season. Often just drawing the idea for the Nativity scene involves many hours, and the finishing oiling also involves time. It's very damp in Washington State, and the Nativity scenes need at least three coats of tung oil, which could add several days to the process, because the dampness slows the drying.

We have lovingly hand-carved:
Since each work of art is hand-carved, you are assured that no wood carving which leaves Linden Forest is identical to another. These sculptures are designed and carved by Christine Coffman with care and attention to detail, so as to be an unmistakable work of art and a keepsake for many generations |
Below, you will find some of our more recent testimonial comments from our customers.
OH YES, And she loves it. The surprise she had was incredible, I couldn't wait till Sept. 22 to give it to her, (it would have killed me).
Thanks again for all your help and great design on this. We look forward to future carvings from you,
and building our collection.
You are the best, and thank you sooo much for this.
Best regards
Sincerely.
Tim.
p.s. expect an email from my wife regarding your "Busy Schedule" excuse, that was the best. She truly had no Idea what was going on and couldn't understand why anyone would turn down business.
Thank You.
Tim :)

Hi Christine,
I got the bear in the mail today, Wednesday, and it looks great! I really appreciate all of your hard work and fast delivery.
Thanks again,

Hello Christine
They are absolutely perfect!!!! They are just what I wanted and tried to describe. Maybe this is a case of great minds thinking alike!!! Lets hope so anyway. Did you put the year on them (small and in the back)? Do you need me to resend shipping addresses? I need a final price and mailing address to send a check....You are wonderful for helping me out this way. Just let me know what you need.
Bill
Christine,
In case I forgot to tell you, I received the package the very next day and it is so cute. Thanks so much. I hope you received my check promptly. I haven't seen it clear yet, so I'm hoping nothing went wrong.

Hello Christine!
They are beautiful! You are really gifted, a very talented woodcarver. I love them, - unbelievable details, the looks in their faces and lovely colours. I send you some pictures. My youngest daughter Elin, five years old, hasn’t taken her eyes off them since they arrived! I hope you have received your money.
I look forward shoving them to my colleges and children at work.
We wish you a lovely springtime and lots of luck in your profession.
Thank you again, yours Lena
Hi Christine,
The carved Santa arrived at the Post Office on Wednesday like you were told. I picked it up today (Thursday) and it arrived in good condition. I am pleased with your workmanship, and you should be proud of such a fine carving. I couldn't believe the Post Office was so prompt -- in my past dealings with them my shipments (even priority) seem like they go by stagecoach.
Have a great day and a sincere "Thanks" from me for your effort.

Hi Christine!
I just received the Santa - it is so beautiful! I am especially impressed
with the level of detail, especially in his face. I absolutely love it, and
I know my mother will feel the same. I can't wait until Christmas! :-)
Thanks again!

Christine,
I am so glad I found your website and I'm happy to have added some of your Santa's to my collection. Rest assured I will be on your website every now and then to check it out (and probably order more!).
Thanks, Sue
Dear Christine,
Many thanks for the gorgeous bears and cards they are just perfect!
Kind Regards,

Good morning-I just made the payment via paypal. Thank you again for the beautiful Santa. I can't wait to display it over the holidays. He is a nice addition to my collection.
Best wishes-Charmaine
Good morning Christine,
Just a quick note to let you know I received my carvings, and I think they
are fabulous. It was nice working with you, and I wish you continued
success with your carving.
Cris
Christine,
I wanted to write a short follow up note about your bear. As I suspected, Georgene was delighted. She kept turning and feeling the bear and deciding where to place it in her curio cabinet. She was touched with the insert card on how you learned your craft from your father. You brought joy to our home.

Dear Christine,
Your package arrived today and my husband was here and received it. It is wonderful. I opened it and looked at Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Then I made myself close it up and save the rest for Christmas. My husband wants to give it to me for Christmas.
I really am thrilled with it and do love it, even if I have not seen every figures.
Thank you so much for getting it done so swiftly. I can't thank you enough.
Have a very Merry Christmas. Just think how many people you have made happy this season with your marvelous gift of creativity. Many more than just me, I am sure.
Sincerely, Betsy
Received the carving and it looks perfect. I think it will make my brother very happy and I can't wait to give it to him. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Chris
Dear Christine,
It was not until today that I was able to look at your beautiful pieces of art. I am impressed!!! I'm telling you that I am not only impressed because of the quality of the hand carved pieces, but also for its presentation. It is the most refined presentation we have had in a long time.
The expression of the faces are unique; so sweet that there is no doubt that all of them are an inspiration of love.
Your father must be very proud of you.
Now I understand why the artist is so attached to her pieces of art. You can rest assured that your nativity is in very good hands. Our company in Spain organizes an annual exposition of Nativities of the World and yours is going to be part of it. I will make sure you receive some literature of this event.
Congratulations and my very best regards,
Maria
