Made from a single piece of sustainably sourced European hardwood — the exact wood varies with each batch, running from lighter maple tones to deeper, darker woods — each Ibis is genuinely unique in its grain, weight, and the slight individual variations that come from being turned and finished by hand. Difficulty level 3 of 6 makes it a satisfying step up from beginner tops, and a natural first-collection piece for anyone starting with Mader. The burned equator stripe identifies it as an original.\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\u003eNatural hardwood spinning top, 4.7cm diameter — usable as a finger top or two-handed top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDifficulty level 3 of 6 — a medium challenge, rewarding with practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWood variety varies per batch: each top is unique in grain, tone and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHand-turned and finished in Klaus Mader's workshop in the Austrian Alps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li4\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAges 3 and up — not suitable for children under 36 months, choking hazard\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":"Default Title","offer_id":52606627086648,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9480\/1720\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-05at11.27.59am.png?v=1783214901","url":"https:\/\/www.littlepaperplanes.com.au\/products\/mader-ibis-spinning-top","provider":"Little Paper Planes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
