Wooden Smile officially launched online in 2024, but our story began long before that.
For years, we worked quietly behind the scenes, creating wooden gifts for offline shops and private clients. Over time, those hand-carved pieces found their way into people’s homes, desks, and everyday lives. In 2024, we decided to bring that same craftsmanship online—so more people could experience the warmth and personality of handmade wooden art.
Crafted by Hand, Meant to Be Kept
At Wooden Smile, we work exclusively with high-quality natural wood, including basswood and balsa, carefully selected for their smooth texture and ability to hold fine detail.
Every piece we make is 100% hand-carved and hand-painted by our studio artisans.
No molds. No assembly lines. No shortcuts.
Each creation takes time, patience, and attention—because meaningful gifts should never feel rushed or disposable.
Where “Smile” Comes From
Wooden Smile was born from a personal turning point.
Our founder once worked as a business analyst in the internet industry, a fast-paced environment that eventually led to burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. After stepping away, he discovered hand carving—not as a business plan, but as a way to slow down and heal.
As a beginner, he carved a small wooden figure. It was imperfect, simple, and full of character. Yet that moment—seeing something created by hand—sparked a sense of calm and quiet joy that had been missing for a long time.
That feeling became the heart of Wooden Smile.
Not a logo.
Not a symbol.
But a belief: that creating something slowly, with your hands,
can bring genuine happiness.
A Small Studio with Shared Values
Today, Wooden Smile is powered by a small studio of four skilled carvers, each bringing their own style and sensitivity to the work. We also collaborate closely with talented designers who help turn personal stories, memories, and ideas into tangible wooden art.
Every piece reflects real human hands, real decisions, and real care.
More Than a Gift
Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful present, a personal keepsake, or a small object that quietly brightens your everyday life, we invite you to explore Wooden Smile.
