This is such a neat place to experience and explore. The architecture, design, climbable treehouses, woodworking areas and beautiful slabs of wood are all amazing to look at.

You might peek also at the places where the artisans live, and then you will have experienced a totally...

The property has lots to see: there are several tree houses, lots of finished and unfinished wood pieces, and a shed where you can pick your own unfinished slab of wood for whatever purpose you desire. The staff is extremely helpful, and the kind man who helped us with our purchase (we selected a piece of unfinished wood to turn into a serving platter, and several premade coasters) explained how they finish their pieces and how we should clean, sand and finish our platter. They are very willing to help newbies out! I strongly recommend to...
