If you buy several items a reduced price can be discussed. Items can be made in different woods on request. Items in common woods can normally be made within 2 weeks of an order. Rarer woods (ebony and wenga) may not be in stock and will need to be sought from the forests. This may take 1 month.
Wood is bought from certified sources

Since the crafts are unique and hand made, some will be made to order and won't be ready immediately. Order ahead of time if possible.
Exact colours and patterns will vary.
If you have a request for something a bit different, please get in touch with the maker and she will tell you if it's possible.
