Toys at Wholesale Prices
I do not
offer my toys at wholesale for several reasons. The
most important is that I sell all the toys I can
make at retail. I'm always behind in my work. Also,
wholesale usually means large numbers of a single
toy. Confronted with such an order my first impulse
is to add a surcharge, for boredom, rather than the discount
expected.
So, I stay
small. Working alone, I'm the one to answer when
you phone. You may hear a saw or sander winding
down in the background as I leave my work to answer
your call. I don't have voice mail, 150 locations,
shrink-wrap packaging or television advertising. I
do make unusually fine toys.
Thanks,
John

My woodworking experience began in my childhood
basement and continued after college these past 35
years as a professional toymaker. My work is sold
mostly by word of mouth, and many families have my
toys. People who appreciate the increasingly rare
values of permanence and quality are my small
market. I want my toys to be an alternative to some
of the throw-away aspects of life today.
