@ everyusername - thanks man, definitely will have fun wood-hunting. The checkbook is never very happy but I could happily spend days searching through mountains of wood for one special piece.
@ Stu - yep, totally going to be making more wood stems. It was on my to-do list for the past week or two but keeps getting bumped by random urgent projects.
I will be making a bunch more though and in a nice variety of sizes, styles and wood types. I plan on them being a regularly stocked item and also of course available as custom orders. So, make people jealous to your hearts content.. I don't mind lol. Also, after seeing that picture of your pool and canyon I've been busy trying to think of a reason I "need" to come to your area
.. seriously though you better be careful or the next time I do have business down that way I might just show up 15-20 Dogs in hand asking for some food and a couch to crash on
. Not sure why but traveling with 15-20 Dogs leaves me exhausted, well at least sleepy and hungry..
Alright, on to announcements...
Attention: Limited hours of operation next week
(June 17 - 24)
As some of you have already heard I will be traveling for a week starting on the 17th (Tuesday) and returning around the 24th (Tuesday as well). Part of my trip will be pleasure, a well needed break after many months of extra-hard work. Other parts of my trip will be business with planned visits to several 1st class wood mills, huge wood importers and some other artists as well. Of course and as usual there are some aspects of my trip that are so top secret that I can't share them until the time is right. Patience grasshoppers.
So, as a result of the above mentioned trips the shop will be closed during my absence. I will be checking the forum and emails from the road as well as time allows and responding as I am able. I plan on being able to check in with you guys every evening in case you need to get in touch so just send a message and be patient I will get back to you. We will still be accepting orders but nothing will be shipped out until I'm return on/around the 24th.
To sum it up:
> The shop will be closed the 17th to 24th.
> Orders will be taken as usual but not shipped until at least the 24th.
> I will check messages and email daily, and will respond to them (by level of urgency) as time allows.
