Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Josef

The paints applied by hand are saliva-safe and free from animal ingredients, making them both harmless and perfectly matched to the Ostheimer design. Transparent colors that allow the wood grain to shine through give each piece its unique character. The final oil provides lasting protection for the colors. Each figurine is handcrafted with great dedication and according to clear templates, which gives the high-quality wood its special feel. Wood from certified forestry operations is sourced according to strict ecological standards to ensure sustainable use.
