All Heirloom
toys are one off. No two will ever be alike. These toys are designed
with the child
in mind. Almost any creature could be made but you must bear in mind that it has to be safe
so can't have any sharp bits. There's no need to stop at Animals, we could make a car or a
plane, whatever you want. It's always exciting designing a wooden toy.
The toys are made from the finest materials, glued together for a lifetime with yacht epoxy glue
and are beautifully varnished for protection and easy cleaning.
Every toy is hand engraved with the owner's name and a scroll will be completed and inserted
carefully into the toy. The scroll is a story of the toy, who owns it, where it was made, what it
was made from and when it was made.
These toys are designed and created entirely by hand and they take about 40 hours to make.
Consequently they can not be described as cheap. They will last for generations and are as
much fun for Adults as they are for Children. Everyone can learn and appreciate the
mechanism that makes the parts move. Where possible it's nice to have at least two lots of
moving parts but much depends on the design. We work closely with the parents to create
something absolutely unique and something that the child will love. Even today there is a place
in this world for wooden toys.
