What this band often offers
In this price band wood shows how much craft sits in originals: cleanly carved figures, sanded forms, carefully oiled surfaces. You can find wood sculptures from 1,000 to 2,000 euro for sale when you want a piece with substance.
With originals in wood, this band often holds mid-sized formats, tabletop sculptures and wall pieces, carved from one block or from glued parts. You can expect fine finishing, a thought-out surface treatment and frequently work by young artists. Some pieces are carved from a single block, while others rely on glued layers that set the grain deliberately against itself.

Checking the material
Ask about the species and the drying. Well-seasoned wood cracks less. See whether cracks were left on purpose or filled, and whether the surface was oiled, waxed or lacquered. All of this affects how you will care for it later.
Placement in the house
A wood object suits a windowsill, sideboard or plinth. Keep it away from radiators. If you want to choose by style, look at abstract wood sculptures, and if you want the craft, at wood as a technique.
