RIDING THE WAVES BALANCE TOY

BY BUY THE SEA

product information

Comfortably sitting at the rudder...sail raised ...scanning the horizon ...a sailor's dream!

When swung the boat gently rocks back and forth as it rides the waves. Using sharp chisels, craftsmen cut the steel plate into shape and hammer the edges. Others bend, cast and attach the counterweight and check balance and swing.

The hand painted distressed finish is the result of an old and proven system of combined layers of paint of slightly different composition. The final step is a hand rub with dark coloured beeswax giving it the final finish and feel.

In the manner of their antique predecessors, each balance toy is a true original. Each comes with a numbered metal tag confirming that these are made in limited numbers. Size 33x11x55cm
