50th Anniversary Heirloom Carvings by Gene Wilson

Gene began carving and marketing cookie molds in 1970. He has chosen 2020 as his year to retire from carving molds.

In 2021, The Buchheit family will assume ownership of HOBI Cookie Molds and will continue to offer Allen's carvings and the remaining inventory of his Uncle Gene's carvings. In his final year of carving, Gene is selecting a favorite heirloom design to feature each month of 2020. For Jan & Feb, Gene carved a dozen each of the two sizes of Nutcracker molds. Click on the thumbnails to see the details.

For March, Gene carved a dozen of the Easter Bunny. For April, eight pairs of William and Mary.

Although above molds appear to be speculaas molds, they have the details characteristic of antique old-world gingerbread

molds and can best display 100% of their magnificent carved detail with a good springerle recipe.

UNFORTUNATELY, Gene Wilson is retiring and will not be carving and signing finished molds after 12/31/2020. Many of his heirloom designs will not be available after the present inventory is sold out. His unsold inventory, and this web site's offerings, will continue for an undetermined time as the property and responsibility of Gene's niece Karen and nephew Allen H Buchheit. The Belleville Wood Art Show has been cancelled this year due to COVID.

FORTUNATELY, our inventory has nearly all of the 120+ items ready for shipping if ordered before the Christmas rush that starts in November.
