Hand Made Traditional Wooden Toys and Clocks

Handmade clocks and toys:

Wooden toys are becoming popular as gifts for young children as an alternative to the more mass-produced variety of toys. They are safe and designed especially for younger users, and are often made of sustainable woods or even recycled wood. Any paints used are almost always non toxic and often eco friendly too.

There are a wide variety of wooden toys available which can suit all ranges. Young children may appreciate, for example, play vehicles like fire engines, stacking bricks and rings and miniature play sets. Older children may prefer marble runs, build sets and even creative items such as carpenter sets.

There are also different types of toys that can be used in different situations, for example outdoor games and construction sets that are also made of the same material are given as gifts. While these may not be so practical in winter, they can often make an enjoyable summer activity.

So why would people prefer choosing toys made of wood as gifts instead of the more modern, common plastic or electronic toys that children are so familiar with?

Many people are turning to toys which are more natural and traditional, to give children an understanding of the craft and effort gone into producing them. Wooden toys are also very often of high quality and handmade. Parents also like children to play with similar types of toys that they grew up with as many of them can also be educational. When buying a Christmas or birthday present for a younger member of the family, consider giving wooden toys as gifts.

A homemade wood clock can spruce up your living area, while giving you something to show off to visitors.

The most common, versatile and oldest material that is used for making furniture is wood. Almost all varieties of furniture can be made of wood. Wood is a soft material and can be easily shaped. The finish obtained is very good and occasional polishing can make it look like new at all times. It can be carved easily and beautiful objects can be created.

Carved living room furniture can give a royal look to your living room. Wooden furniture can be cheap or very costly depending on the type of wood and carving work involved. Furniture made of certain types of wood like oak, teak and rosewood are very durable and so, are costlier than others. Wooden furniture is best suited to homes as these provide elegance and lifelong service.

You can build a traditional clock very simply and at very little cost. There are thousands of craft outlets selling clock making parts and more importantly clock inserts. No special skills or knowledge is needed, only patience and common sense.

Note: You can view a bigger version of the wood turned items by placing your mouse curser on the image and click. A new window will open with the larger image. When finished viewing, just close the window and come back here to view the others.

Colour and markings may differ in appearance slightly in your finished turning from the one's shown in the photo's depending on wood used at the time they are turned. Each item is handcrafted individually, so slight variances should be expected especially if ordering more than one item. The sizes listed are approximate. They may be a couple of millimetres taller, longer, wider or little shorter, etc.
