Opened the box on the lounge and said oh out loud. The painted one is real wood, light and warm in your hands, not that cold heavy resin our old shop one was made of. He went straight on the sideboard and the grandkids have been moving him around the lounge room all week. Not a chip on him.

Ordered the natural pine one for myself. You can see the grain right through the stain and the brass cup is solid. No candle in the box, which they say up front. An ordinary dinner candle from the supermarket stands dead straight in it.

Got the natural one for the front hall. My husband was a carpenter for forty years and the first thing he did was turn it over and look at the grain. He said that's turned on a lathe, not glued together out of a kit. It's taller than I pictured, which I like, and it goes with everything.

Bought both for our two daughters so they'd each have one when they've got their own places. They came wrapped in tissue, not a chip or a scratch. The painted one is smaller than the natural one, and the sizes are right there in the description.

I collect nutcrackers and most new ones are resin now. This one is light and warm in the hand and you can feel the turning rings under the paint. The beard is soft and the little red jewels on the crown are a nice touch.

Turned up in two days and packed carefully. We lit the candle in it for Christmas Eve tea, sun still going down outside, and the whole table went quiet for a second. Ordering another one for my sister before they're gone.
