The production of turned bowls was once very popular in Val Casies. So much so, that in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the use of Swiss pine was even regulated by the authorities in order to preserve the forestry. Josef Taschler, owner of the farmhouse, started practicing the use of the lathe over 30 years ago, as an addition to agricultural activities. In 1989 he passed the relevant exams. In the turnery shop you will find several common use or decorative items made using local wood. But you will also find unusual objects: for example, the lampshades of our new apartments are from our lab. Time permitting, we can also take orders.
