The carving of THE HOLY FAMILY is amazing. Javier is extremely gifted and is putting his gift to perfection. I love this carving and as soon as Ive had it blessed by a Priest ,it will hang it on my wall. Thank you Javier.

I appreciate what the company is doing for the people in this region of the world. We will make other purchases from this company.
