Natutopia is not just a producer of wooden crafts, but a storyteller of nature's beauty and diversity.

Unlike mass-produced products that rely on machines and molds, Natutopia's crafts are made by human hands, with care and attention to every detail. Handcrafting also adds a touch of personality and warmth to each craft, making it more than just a product, but a companion.
So how does Natutopia handcraft its wood crafts? Here are some of the steps involved in the process:
Selecting the wood: Natutopia uses only the highest-quality wood from different parts of the world, such as North American black walnut, Canadian maple, French beech, African ebony, and Chinese boxwood. Each type of wood has its own characteristics, such as color, texture, grain, and hardness. Natutopia's craftsmen carefully select the wood that best suits the design and function of each craft.
Cutting the wood: Natutopia uses CNC machines to cut the wood into the basic shape of the craft. This is the only step that involves a machine, and it takes only 10% of the crafting process. The rest of the process is done by hand.
Sanding the wood: Natutopia's craftsmen use sandpaper to smooth the surface of the wood, removing any rough edges or splinters. They also use different grits of sandpaper to create different effects, such as matte or glossy. Sanding is a tedious and time-consuming task, but it is essential for ensuring the quality and durability of the craft.
Carving the wood: Natutopia's craftsmen use various tools, such as knives, chisels, and drills, to carve the wood into the desired shape and pattern. They also use their artistic sense and creativity to add details and features to the craft, such as eyes, ears, noses, mouths, and limbs. Carving is a challenging and skillful task, as it requires precision and patience. It is also the most rewarding task, as it brings the craft to life.
Polishing the wood: Natutopia's craftsmen use a cloth to apply wood wax oil to the surface of the wood, to protect it from moisture and dust. They also use the wood wax oil to highlight the natural beauty of the wood, without any use of dyes or paints. Polishing is a delicate and gentle task, as it requires a soft touch and a keen eye. It is also the final touch, as it gives the craft a smooth and shiny finish.
Assembling the craft: Natutopia's craftsmen use glue, screws, magnets, and other accessories to assemble the craft, to make it functional and complete. They also test the craft to ensure that it works properly and meets the standards of quality and safety. Assembling is a careful and meticulous task, as it requires accuracy and coordination. It is also the last step, as it marks the completion of the craft.
As you can see, handcrafting wood is a complex and laborious process, but it is also a rewarding and enjoyable one. Natutopia's craftsmen take pride in their craft, and they hope to share their passion and joy with you.
