We're working on a big new batch of historical figures, expanding beyond our current author range with lots of new folks.
Here's the wooden prototype for our first big wall-mounted playset: THE PIRATE PORT!

We're working on the plans for what might be the first of our wall-mounted playsets, designed to be there when kids want to play but to not take up floor or table space: the Pirate Port, with figures based on historical pirates of the early 1700s. #woodenToys
We're very happy with the test pieces for smaller, double-side, free-standing figures that'll be part of sets and playsets. Here's a Blackbeard to give you an idea of what we're working on!

The SchweizerCraft online store is live! We're making available the first of what we hope will be many wooden author figures, just in time for Christmas (and we hope you'll let your lit major friends know)!

ONE WEEK (4/19) until the Sherlock Holmes Collection launches on Kickstarter! Four sets of wooden figures featuring characters from the #SherlockHolmes stories of #SirArthurConanDoyle, each with its own Holmes and Watson.
