The Rock Maple Toy Company
Please meet Dan Campbell,
Toy Maker.
Dan has spent most of his working life as a surveyor in the
construction industry working on projects such as roads and bridges throughout
the Maritimes.
He decided this spring that he had enough of life on the
road and wanted to find a way to work at home and opened up his wooden toy
making business called : The Rock Maple Toy Company.”
The idea evolved from a woodworking hobby over the years
while making wooden items and toys for Christmas presents.
He operates from his workshop at The Falls in
Colchester County, Nova Scotia.
He uses Rock Maple as the main wood and finishes it with
organic, environmentally friendly products.
Milk paint and hemp oil are used to seal the wood
with a child safe tough finish.
It is then topped off with a hand rubbed beeswax
finish for a truly green toy.
The Pictou County Weekend Market is his first venture into
selling his toys to the public and he is planning on attending craft shows in
the local area and in the Maritimes starting in October of this year.
A new toy will be joining his inventory at his booth all
summer long.
Please
stop by and meet Dan and see all his wonderful toys
.
These toys will last a lifetime and bring great memories to
your children and grand-children.
