For Wooden Toy Turtle - Customized With Name5.0This is a beautiful piece of work. The turtle is cute, but the smooth finish is gorgeous. We bought it for a new baby gift, and the personalization is lovely. The shipping amount was modest, and it arrived faster than expected. Most happy with this, our first purchase. Showed to some friends, and they wanted information to see other items, too. We will be back!
