**The woodworker with a passion for his craft. If you give him wood, a lot of shavings fall off, but that what remains is a unique woodcraft from the Gosau valley!**
**A huge love for woodcraft!**
-------------------------------
This is obvious the moment you set eyes on the farmhouse of family Gamsjäger in **[Gosau at Dachstein](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/gosau-at-dachstein.html?utm_campaign=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_source=tourdata)**, better known by their **house name "Waldweber" (Forest Weaver).** An **exhibition room** lies above the workshop, in which bowls and many other works of hand-carved art can be admired and, of course, purchased. The stunning **wooden bowls** are the perfect souvenir to bring home from your holiday in the Salzkammergut!
**The woodworkers**
--------------------
Jakob Gamsjäger, better known as Tschak and Hans Gamsjäger "Der Weise" share the passion for wood and with it also the lathe and what else belongs to it!
A visit to the Waldweber is almost always possible. A phone call is appreciated to make sure that someone is definitely at home to meet you! In the first and second Advent weeks, Jakob Gamsjäger display their works at the [**Gosau "Bergweihnacht" (Christmas market)**.](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/erlebnisse/winter/advent/artikel/detail/929/christmas-market-gosau.html)
