We use natural “Eco” sealers and paints to seal our products.
I was extremely happy with the motorcycle/sidecar outfit John made for me. l gave it to Alistair Sabiston (the original maker of the Sabiston Mkll sidecar l had had John replicate). Al just stood there with a silly grin on his face turning his gift over and over in his hands taking in every detail. I left with the idea that this most modest of men had enjoyed John’s work more than any other gift he’d ever received in his life.
In regards to the beautiful growth ruler we gave as a birth gift, the parents were very happy to receive this awesome gift. As far as the production process, John took careful notes about our wishes, and produced a magical piece of art that will always be close to our hearts. John suggested the engraving of names and that made the gift even more special. John you have magic in your hands and we love your work. Thank you so much.
Thank you for engraving Grandsons name on rear tailgate. Fabulous
workmanship, toy well packaged and fast shipment. Many thanks.
I am so happy with this, the workmanship is amazing.
John is a fantastic craftsman and went further by engraving our farming
company name into the side of the harvester. This is more than a toy, it’s
model quality. Super happy and very happy to recommend to everyone.
Thanks.
We LOVE the growth ruler and it’s so special as we can take it everywhere and anywhere we go! It looks great in our house and it’s such a great idea! We are happy to sell John’s art at the Picton Environment Centre on behalf of Enviro Hub!
Grandson loves these toys.
Beautifully made and kept me informed as to how they were going. My
grandson will love them.
We love these little wooden animals! Thank you.
This guy makes the toys he sells. Many wooden toys have bad proportions but my motorcycle was perfectly proportioned and well made.

1; n. the grub of an indigenous New Zealand beetle who has it’s head in the wood day and night.
2; n. A guy from Marlborough, New Zealand who also spends far too much of his time thinking and messing with the wood!
3; n. Awesome wooden things made by said guy from definition 2.
Think of an unassuming little grub in NZ trying to chomp it’s way through wood to sustain itself with the hope of all that wood (sawdust) being transformed into something amazing. (Bug to Bettle) That’s Huhu!
