Apple wood would be ideal to make chew toys out off for your robos. I found my Syrians like to also chew on willow sticks.
I would make sure that the apple sticks you are planning on using a free from pesticides or any other chemicals as this may make the apple wood unsafe. But you can also buy Willow sticks in bunches from pets at home.
I normal freeze wood in an airtight bag for around 24 to 48 hours. When you take them out of the freezer leave them in the bag for 24 hours before using. I have never baked wood myself.

Can't think of many toys ideas at the moment but DIY bendy bridge/tunnels, or hanging chew toys (DIY kabob or garlands).
