    Default Salvaged Redwood!

    Wow, those look great! Handmade gifts are THE BEST!

    I was a little worried about where the wood originated, but I found this notice practically buried on his site:

    <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0 VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"><TBODY><TR><TD align=left>Items seen on this page are made from "Recycled </TD></TR><TR><TD height=8></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0 VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"><TBODY><TR><TD align=left>Redwood" from old barnwood , torn down play structures,etc. , if you know where I can find more please let me know ...don't let this beautiful wood go to waste!

    Fred, just a suggestion, but you might might want to make that more visible, since many hikers would cringe at supporting redwood timber harvesting. Perhaps you could just insert "salvaged" every time you say redwood so it reads: "salvaged redwood"
    Just an idea. Good luck, my order is coming!

    Fred,

    Sorry I missed your earlier post. Pretty hard not to support Bob and Pat Peoples and besides I'm partial to handmade things.

    Just went to your website but didn't see a specific way to place my order. Give me a shout off-line and let me know how to get that process rolling.

    Default Thanks Guys!!

    Thanks for your support in this "Everyone" ,I have updated my website to hopefully make it easier for anyone else to purchase with a link to paypal but if you need to mail a check just email me and I will send you the address and info .
    ALSO YES THESE ARE ALL MADE FROM RECYCLED REDWOOD THAT CAME FROM SOME TORN DOWN PLAYSTRUCTURES AT THE CITY I USED TO WORK FOR (NICE BEAMS that were going to be just thrown out and wasted), I've also blown up that part to be more visible now ,Thanks for the advice !!!!!

    One slight problem. There are so many things underlined, but none of them appear to be a link to an order page. Similarly, the photos don't seem to link to an order page.

    How the heck do I make an order?

    Haha, I thought the same thing. I see underlined text and I automatically want to click it.

    Also, I think I will be placing an order soon. Probably next day, but right now I have a paper to write. Too bad I'm

    But yes, order forthcoming.

    Also, it's tough to tell what size some of the items are. I don't know speicifically how it could be done better... maybe taking a picture of all the items together, with a letter under the item referencing what that item is. That would give size comparison to all the items, and make it easy to pick out which a buyer wanted. Maybe that'd be too much trouble...

    Me for example, I'd want one that's small and thin, but one with a white blaze, one with the AT symbol, and one with the hiker. Maybe bigger than the 3/4, but I don't think I saw a 1 3/4 that has the hiker. Or I could be just confused.

    Anyway, yeah, I'll get into it all and try to figure out what to order.
