About Fish River Crafts

Fish River Crafts of Fort Kent, Maine.. ...has specialized since 1981 in the design and production of fine wooden marionettes. The goal of the business has always been to develop high quality string-puppets which are easy to use yet lifelike and to offer them for sale at a reasonable price. The creative process includes the sawing and milling of reclaimed white-birch hardwood and then the hand-turning, carving and painting of nearly all the wood parts that make up the finished product. Thus, the wood from which the marionettes are made passes through our hands many times in many forms before taking its final shape in the products offered here.Read their story
