Craig's Convoys Craig's Convoys Produces Heirloom Childern's Toys. When viewing my pictures, please note the captions.

All toys are constructed from art work grade Poplar lumber, food grade and water-based wood stains, food contact approved wood glues, and food grade stainless steel hardware. Captions explain the different stain colors on each of the toys. For example: My profile picture of the green (a/k/a Cool Leaf) tractor with yellow (a/k/a Stern) wheels and black tires is noted as Cool Leaf over Stern. If yo

u see any words in captions that don't make sense (i.e. April, Bark, Raisan, or Toffee) please refer to the "In Stock Stain Colors" photo album.
