The Arch Set · 12 pieces · from birth
Built for three childhoods.
Twelve nesting arches in Tasmanian oak, sanded until they feel like river stones, finished in beeswax. A rainbow, a bridge, a tunnel, a bed for the bear. Then the next child.

Tasmanian oak from managed forests
Why wood
Heavy enough to feel real.
A wooden arch weighs something in a small hand. It clacks, it stacks, it takes a bite and a drop. Plastic teaches nothing about weight; oak does.
- Tasmanian oak, one piece, no joins to fail
- Water based paint, beeswax and jojoba finish
- Sanded twice by hand, edges you can chew
Reviews

Five years, two kids
Bought for our first, now the second stacks them. Not a chip.
Emma, HobartThe weight
You notice it straight away. Real objects.

Questions

Yes. Tested to AS/NZS 8124, no small parts, finish is food safe.
How do I clean it?
Damp cloth. Never soak. A little beeswax once a year brings the glow back.

Birth to about six. First they mouth it, then stack it, then build with it.
Where is it made?
A workshop in the Huon Valley, Tasmania, from oak grown within an hour of it.
