The handmade wood craft

A good wooden toy made with quality handiwork has a pleasing look and feel and will provide years of joy to a child if you preserve it well.

Wood can wear down if not treated in the right manner, so it's a good idea to use a few natural polishes to keep the toys looking clean and brand new.
A distinct but not unpleasant odor adds to the overall character of olive wood. The wood's slightly sweet smell is particularly noticeable when freshly split or when worked with tools.

Toys and games made from olive wood will generally retain this faint aroma for many years.
