Big Stacker, Butterfly.
Ron wanted a butterfly stacker in our collection of unfinished stackers. OK, simple enough design, should have been easy! First problem; all of our other stackers are based on bottom center pieces being able to slide in or out to form a "tunnel". Butterfly refused this design form. So, this butterfly has the outer part of the design as a base with each smaller piece stacked upward inside the base. Just the reverse of our other stackers!
After looking at the basic design, I realized our butterfly could also be a fairy or maybe a Sorceress! I have included smaller drawing guides for each. Have fun deciding how to paint these. Maybe one side as a fairy and the other a butterfly?
As with all our unfinished pine items, some additional sanding may be needed in the hard to reach areas. If you want rounded off edges, that will also require more sanding. The type of paint/finish you choose is totally up to you. Read labels and use what works best for you. We cannot recommend any finish over another.
This Big Stacker, Butterfly is 6-3/4 inches tall by 9 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches thick. All measurements are approximate. Each butterfly is hand cut and lightly sanded so parts are not interchangeable!
This stacker is not recommended for children under 3 years of age or any child in the "put everything in the mouth" group. Some pieces could be a choking hazard. You know your child best, so use common sense when ordering.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION..........PLEASE READ!!
Our pine cutout items are designed and copyrighted by me (Phyllis). They are free hand drawings and will not be the same side to side. I feel this gives them more character and individualism. The items are then hand cut one at a time by Ron with his band saw. They are lightly sanded. All this means that no two will be exactly alike. Pieces of stackers and puzzles are not interchangeable. Pieces of stackers and puzzles must be all "right" side up to fit together properly. If a piece is flipped over, it won't fit! This makes the stacker more challenging and less boring over time. If this is an issue for your young ones, we suggest that one side be painted in dark colors and the other side in light colors. For instance, a rainbow could be primary colors on one side and pastel colors on the other. Due to differences in printers, hand cutting and sanding, the drawing GUIDES provided for our cutouts are never going to fit exactly. They are merely GUIDES to help you with details as you finish your cutout!
Our hand cut items are cut from pine grown in the USA and occasionally Canada. The lumber is marked KDHT which means it is KILN DRIED (to reduce the moisture content) and HEAT TREATED (pasteurized, heated to partial sterilization to kill bugs and bacteria). Our items are sold UNFINISHED. Although Ron lightly sands our hand cut items, there could still be rough spots, sharp edges, or even a few splinters. It is up to you to finish sanding the items to your liking before applying any paint or finish. We don't recommend any one finish over another. It is up to you to choose the type of finish you prefer and read the labels to be sure it is child safe!
WARNING!!!
We do not recommend any of our products for children under 3 years of age. Small pieces can be a choking hazard so if your child (or pet) is still taste testing everything, use common sense when purchasing. You know your child best; buy wisely! Remember, anything that can pass through a toilet paper roller is a choking hazard!
