They have plans for making wooden rocking horses and children's wooden toys, but not only this they give step by step instruction of which type of wood to use, how to cut, shape, drill and finally add the finishing touches with paint or varnish to your wood creation.

It will take time and a lot of effort to master this fine art, but as long as you follow the instructions and persevere you will produce a fine natural wooden toy and it will be worth every minute of your time when you have finished it, especially when your family see the finished piece and 'fall in love with it.' There are also your friends, who may ask 'where did you get that wooden toy from? it's so beautiful'. With your family and friends so positive about your creation your feelings of satisfaction and pride will lift you on a high, ready to embark on another project in wood.
