The stem is long and elegant, inviting you to try it as a finger top or between two palms; the low, wide body gives it the stability to reward both approaches. Handcrafted from a single piece of maple at Klaus Mader's workshop in the Austrian Alps, hand-painted in your choice of blue or green, with the burned equator stripe that identifies every original Mader top. Difficulty level 3 of 6. Pairs with the larger Arabella or smaller Spaghetti to build out the family.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMaple wood stem top, 4.7cm diameter — finger top or two-handed top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSpin time up to 105 seconds with practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDifficulty level 3 of 6 — medium challenge, grows with the spinner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAvailable in Blue or Green \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHand-painted and varnished in Austria — burned equator stripe on every original Mader top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eMader Kreiselmanufaktur was founded in 1991 by Klaus Mader, a carpenter who loved spinning tops and wanted to make them properly. His workshop sits in the foothills of the Austrian Alps, and each top is handcrafted — often by Klaus himself — from a single piece of sustainably sourced European hardwood. Some tops go through up to 20 individual processes: turning, burning, embossing, carving, brushing, painting, and varnishing. Every original Mader top is identifiable by the burned stripe around its equator. The colour method guarantees 100 years of colorfastness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mader","offers":[{"title":"Green","offer_id":52606634852664,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":52606634885432,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9480\/1720\/files\/BS219-Mader-Ara-Mixed-Colour-Green_1494x1494_702d2e17-19a6-4cba-b3e1-1cd3882c06b3.webp?v=1783215327","url":"https:\/\/www.littlepaperplanes.com.au\/products\/mader-ara-spinning-top","provider":"Little Paper Planes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
