"When Harald Naber left Germany in 1967 to seek adventure in Alaska, he had no idea what the future held for him. His first job, skinning wolves, started him on a journey that continues today. How does a wolf skinner become a world famous doll maker? It perhaps surprised Harald more than anyone. In 1970, Harald carved what he called “the ugliest thing you have ever laid your eyes on” out of a 4x4 from the local builders’ supply and covered it in reindeer fur. The ugly doll, “Big Nuni,” was put on consignment at a store in Anchorage, and sold the first day. He made more dolls and they kept selling. Then, in 1984, Harald carved the first Naber Kids in an old trapper’s cabin in Homer, Alaska. They weren’t conventional dolls, they had attitude and personality. And, many people called them ugly! Since that time, Harald’s talent as a master carver has been acknowledged by collectors and his dolls have made their way into homes and collections around the world".
