PECANPALS Natural Wood Series by Noferin (May 5th release)
Folks impatient to lay their grubby mitts on Noferin's NATURAL WOOD Series of Pecanpals [tagged] need not have to wait that much longer, as they are scheduled for a release on May 5th @ www.noferin.com (Exact time of release TBC - best bet is to put yourselves on their mailing list here / menu-left). CLICK THRU for a closer-look at the individual characters, and to find out a little bit more about Noferin's Pecanpal wooden toys, as well as a "Special Gift" from Noferin :)
The Natural Wood Series will be limited to only 300 friends. Pecan, Pandacake, Claudius, Jac Jac and Fanelli are made from 100% wood, possess articulated joints, and are all individually hand crafted.
ABOUT THE WOOD USED:
Noferin-says: "Something we forgot to tell everyone with the last release, Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood. They are made from rubber tree wood that would otherwise go to waste. Rubber trees are planted for their rubber, and after about 20 years, their rubber yields start to diminish. We use this beautiful wood, thus saving it from the fire pit."
No two Pecanpals look the same. They all have very unique markings due to the wood grain. Some are spotted, some have a marbled look, some are a mixture of the two. Noferin says: "We are very pleased with these figures and hope that you enjoy them too."
NOFERIN'S SPECIAL GIFT:
Noferin-says: We have spent the past few days preparing some hand carved, hand cut, hand painted and hand pressed wooden prints as part of a thank you for those who are going to adopt a whole set of our Natural Wood Pecanpals May 5th. Here are some progress pictures from the incredibly enjoyable, yet time-consuming printing process. The prints are on wood and each one is different. If you purchase a set, you will receive a varnished wooden print as our gift to you. All orders will receive a complimentary thick paper stock poster!
