Announcement
Most items will be packed and shipped within 24 hours. However, there are some exceptions. Packages too large to fit in my mailbox may take longer because I need to arrange for pickup. A large order the comes in late in the evening will not get packed until the next morning and will get picked up the next day unless it is Sunday. I do not ship on Sunday.
Due to my storage limitations, some items are made to order. I will make these ad ship them as quickly as possible.
I ship via USPS only. I don't insure packages except for some special circumstances. If you want the package insured, please select priority mail.
Each item I ship is carefully packed in reused packing materials whenever possible to lessen environmental impact. I take pride in packing my items for shipment. None of my toys has ever arrived damaged. Each Handmade toy gets individual attention. Toys are packed according to their needs, not just thrown into a box with some bubble wrap. When I pack a toy for shipment, everything is padded and locked down tight. Before the label goes on, the package gets a vigorous shake. If I hear anything move, it gets repacked until nothing moves.

5 out of 5 starsOnce again, I am enchanted with these little critters. Clean, smooth finish and lots of detail in cutting. Purchased many to go with kid’s play sets for school. Always refunds shipping overage. Thanks so much for creating these wonderful animals.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I have a policy of only charging what the shipping costs me. When someone buys one item, it usually is not a problem, but Etsy's shipping calculator is way off when many items are ordered.

How I came to Etsy
I have been making toys since I was a kid. In the beginning, they were pretty crude. My only tool was a Boker pocket knife my Dad gave me. I remember my Dad teaching me how to make slingshots and willow whistles. I made all sorts of toys with that knife. It lasted until I was a teenager, and the blade finally wore out.
After my kids were born, the world they lived in was different. I made small toys and other items for them, but no slingshots, bows, or willow whistles. They got older and didn't care so much for toys anymore. At about the same time, my military carrier ended, and I had to start over with a new IT career. Toy making went on the back burner while I worked on learning new skills.
Four years ago, my grandson, Odin, was born. As soon as he started pushing things around the floor, I made him a car and truck. He was fascinated with helicopters (wop-wops as he called them), so I made a helicopter. Then came stacking toys, puzzles, a rocking horse, and more cars and trucks. Now everything I make gets tested by Odin. He is my Quality assurance tester and picks colors for painted toys.
I have always loved making things. Toys probably more than anything. I wanted to work some craft shows, but the startup cost was too high. When I discovered Etsy, it seemed like a perfect fit for me. I have woodworking skills, love making toys, know a bit about photography, and have 40 years of computer experience. Add the low startup cost, and it is a perfect match.
My first goal is to make the best quality toys. Toys I am proud of and hopefully toys that will be family heirlooms. Not models or art but natural toys that kids can play with, not toys their parents put on a shelf.
