-
We love details, and kendamas are a very detail-oriented toy.
We ship all orders from our Vancouver workshop, so you can rest assured that your kendama is being packed up by someone who cares, not just a random fulfilment warehouse worker!
Handturned products from our shop are made one at a time by hand, so the amount of work and care put into each and every one of our products guarantees that they're top notch. We're big fans of using rare, unconventional, and beautiful materials to make our products, so if you're looking for something special you can trust us to create it. If you are considering buying a Terra product we are proud to recommend that you simply talk to one of our past customers to find out if it's worth it. We are confident they will give us an excellent review.
For more information on how we create our handturned products, visit our Process page. - When will the store be updated? I want a _____!
