Special order only. Please allow 4-6 months for the ark to be built, sanded and finished, and also for the animals to be carved by hand, sanded, painted, and finished.
Heirloom quality solid hardwood Noah's Ark playset. Handmade by one person (me) from start to finish.
Construction is completely free from nails, screws, or other fasteners so there is nothing that can come loose over time. Solidly built with precise joinery.
All materials are natural and child-safe, including the paint and finishes. Animals are painted as sparingly as possible with casein-based milk paints, and all surfaces are finished with 3 layers of beeswax and then polished to a dull shine.
