About the Wood
Since our shop is a small, home based hobby shop we don't purchase anything by the truckload. All of our wood items are unique and subject to change at any time. When you order a custom item you can choose any type of wood, or direct us to an item on the site that you like and we'll try to match the wood. It is difficult to get accurate colors on the internet because cameras and monitors are all different, but we have done our best to show what each item really looks like. We are working on a new section to the website featuring the different woods that we work with and their finishes.
Recycled Wood - Reclaimed Wood - Green Processes
We also give used wood a second life when ever we can. Often we create a laminate of sorts by connecting strips of wood together with quality wood glue. These pieces will be refered to as a laminate board, some framed, some not. Many pieces have brought a unique and beautiful treasure from discarded pieces, we never know what will happen when we make these creations! Our eagle carvings come out especially nice in this medium.
Shipping and Payment
We have set up our Shopping Cart through Paypal, which we have found to be the most economical method out there. When you make a purchase you will notice that a new window opens, with our website remaining in the background. This is Paypals portal and you can be assured it is safe by the locked padlock symbol in your browsers top panel by the Paypal name.
