Lead soldier collecting is a substantial hobby devoted to collecting both old and new toy soldiers, with an abundance of small manufacturers, dealers, and toy soldier shows. There are even specialty magazines devoted to the hobby, such as “Toy Soldier Collector (www.toysoldiercollector.com)”, “Plastic Warrior” and “Toy Soldier and Model Figure”. Collectors often specialize in a particular type of soldier or historical period, though some people enjoy collecting many different kinds of figures.

BAHOUKAS has a large collection of lead soldiers for sale. We have a small selection pictured below:

New at BAHOUKAS!!!

Did you ever come across and old piece of furniture that you loved, only to wish you could have one almost like it, custom built to fit your space? If so, we can help you!!!!

We now have new furniture made from repurposed wood! Hand crafted by Mark Broomell, a craftsman with a shop in Perryville MD. Mark produces these pieces from resawn beams using old fashioned tools. He lovingly creates each piece with his own hands just like they did “back in the day”.

Below is a dining table hand crafted from resawn beams. We have this table (measuring 37″ x 60″) in the store, but Mark will custom produce a table for you if your size requirement differs from this!

Textile weaving is almost as old as civilization itself, and it is practiced around the globe. Weaving is thought to have been developed as a refinement of mat or basket making, in which the much finer materials needed the support of vertical tension to remain straight.

If you are an experienced weaver, or ever wanted to try your hand at weaving, we have the looms for you!

The small loom measures about 24″ long and 7 1/2″ wide and is perfect for small projects:

We also have a larger loom that measures ~24″ x 37″ and is 42 1/2″ high at tallest point. This is perfect for the more ambitious weaver:
