Located in beautiful Nipawin, Sk Verne’s Woodcraft is home of handmade wooden toys & games. After almost thirty years of building handmade toys and games, Verne still enjoys working with wood and attending craft shows. He mainly uses original designs, adapting and improving techniques and designs. as the market evolved, he started marketing at local farmer’s markets and craft shows until in the early nineties when Verne began to exhibit at all major craft sale venues in western Canada.

Using mainly local hardwood in the production of his products he has developed and marketed a range of items from $4.00 – $100.00

With years of experience in woodworking and by following the guidelines as set out by consumer and corporate affairs Canada regarding safety of children’s toys Verne has developed a complete line of fun and educational toys.

Toys are handmade from local Birch lumber or Baltic Birch plywood where stability is desirable. Commercially turned Maple or beech wheels and dowels are used.

Axles are fluted dowels for glue retention. Glue and any filler used are water based and are non-toxic. Stress points such as box corners are pinned or dowelled for strength and durability. All edges are rounded with no sharp corners.

All toys are sanded to a smooth finish and left natural with no stains or preservatives. Finger points or dirt from day to day play can be wiped off or lightly sanded until clean.
