Stackers! Such a simple concept and yet…….and yet…..they are so much more. A simple, easy puzzle to delight a child? Yes, but also tunnels to drive through, mountains to climb, and gateways to another land, perhaps of fairies and dragons! Oh my!

This Big Fire Stacker was slightly re-designed in 2013. We have had a little more breakage on the outer ring that we would like so we have "fattened" the rings out a bit. In doing so, we have lost a ring so there are now 4 pieces instead of the original 5. We are hoping that this will solve the breaks happening during shipping!

The Fire Stacker has 4 pieces, each one soaring and flickering into the next. Taken apart, the Fire Stacker becomes a delightful series of tunnels and loops! I could see this one painted in red and yellow flames or in green mountain forests. The Fire Stacker measures 7-3/4 inches wide and 9 inches tall.

This collection of big stackers is cut from wider pine stock and will measure about 1-1/4 inches thick making them more durable and quite awesome! As with all of our unfinished pine cutouts, Ron has cut them out and lightly sanded them, but you may need to do a little more hand sanding on the inside cuts. If you want the edges “softened” or rounded over, you will have to sand that also. Stacker pieces are not interchangeable front side to back side or from stacker to stacker. If you are buying several of the same stacker, you may want to paint them slightly differently so you can tell which piece goes with which stacker more easily. There is also a Little Stacker, Fire Element if you want a smaller version!

If you have concerns about the smaller piece in the center as a choking hazard, let us know and we will leave it out or, better yet, just put it away in a cupboard or drawer until your child is older. Convo us with any questions or concerns. I will not be re-photographing these stackers, so the one you receive may have a slightly different grain to the wood. There may also be a small tight knot or two although we try to avoid them!

Stackers are not recommended for children 3 years of age and under or for the “put everything in the mouth” group. Pieces could be a choking hazard if broken. KNOW YOUR CHILD AND BUY ACCORDINGLY!

Single stackers will be shipped Priority Mail (USA) in a padded envelope since they all weigh over a pound! Delivery in 2 to 3 business days. WARNING: Shipping fees may be more than the item price! Wood is heavy!!

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!
