Welcome to our website!

This is a very small organization, so small that I personally hand make and hand finish every wooden article that leaves this shop. I pay special attention to the use of non-toxic materials and other safety issues. In particular, none of the items meant for use by children have any small loose parts and the stools are supplied with non-slip cork pads on the feet.

Because everything is handmade, there may be variations from one item to the next. These variations will be minor and will in no way affect the function or life of any article. There may also be slight color variations from one piece to another. This is attributable to variations in the stains or varnishes and in the grain and coloring of the wood. Wood is a highly variable raw material and that is what gives most wooden objects so much appeal !

Our products make wonderful gifts for children of all ages celebrating an important personal life event; First Holy Communion, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation, nursery school graduation, high school or college graduation, first job, etc. We also have gifts for adults that can serve as a wonderful remembrance at birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or as holiday gifts.
 


Notice!
Made in the U.S.A.

With all the current controversy over problems with lead paint and loose parts issues with imported toys, we would like to emphasize that our products contain no lead or other toxic substances and there are no loose parts on any of our products for children. Everything we make is made here in Massachusetts with care and attention to safety and suitability for the end user.




A new addition to our stools is your choice of stenciled images sure to please the youngsters. Check them out on the stool page.

Check out all the colors of our stools including the multi-color names and mixed color stools on the stool page! You can now make the Children's stools even more personalized, with the addition of the child's infant footprints to the Stool along with his/her name. And don't forget you may purchase a stained stool or a stool without a name, for a discount from the standard price.

Shipping Charge Update!!

You are most likely aware that shipping fees charged by all the major shippers have continued to increase with the rise in the cost of fuel. We have experienced significant increases in our cost to ship most items and regret that we are forced to make some changes in our shipping policies. Effective immediately, we must change the fees for shipping our stools (due to their weight) to a dual rate; one rate for East of the Mississippi River and a slightly higher rate for shipping to the Western states. In addition, we can no longer offer a discount on shipping for puchasing 3 or more items. If and when the shipping costs decrease we will reduce our S&H charges as appropriate. Thank you for your understanding.

Our Shipping & Handling charges are based on shipping just that one item. If you are planning to order more than one item, please contact us and we will calculate what it would cost to ship the items to your specific address. Many of our items are small or light enough that they can be shipped for a small extra cost when shipped with a larger or heavier item. See the Order Forms for more information or email us at Woodshop@AV-Wood.com and tell us which items you plan to order and we will respond within 48 hours with a quote on the total shipping charges.
