HOLZTIGER toys are all handmade. First of all, the contours are stamped out on wooden boards, then the figures are cut out with a saw. A number of different steps follow to smooth off the rough surfaces and edges.
The wood is then primed and finish-sanded - a process which results in a particularly smooth and soft surface. Next, water-based stains are applied by hand. After staining, a clear water-based layer is applied - also by hand -to each figure to make it resistant to perspiration and saliva. Once the HOLZTIGER logo is burnt in, the final step is a trip to quality control before the wooden figure is released for its journey to the playroom!
