Production Process

01. Air Drying

The raw material – wooden boards – will be stacked in the open air to dry naturally before we do anything to them. We’ll only start making wooden toys with them till the moisture content of the wood falls below 15 percent, which is essential for preventing the wooden toys from getting mildewed.

04. Coating

When all the blank wooden toy pieces are smooth and clean, they’re ready for the coating (or painting) process. All of Eagle Creation’s toys have more than one layer of coating to ensure nice finish and good adhesion. First, it’s base coating, or primer, after the primer layer is finished, we’ll sand the toys pieces again to make sure the coating surface is perfectly smooth, then we do the second layer of coating. After each layer of coating, we’ll need to sand the pieces for the next layer of coating, until the final layer of finish is done.
Techniques: spray painting, drum painting.
