Well, I'll just answer my own questions till get some.
Q.: How are the signs made?
A.: It's an ancient Chinese Secret. If I told you I would have to kill you. No, really I would. Being totally honest death would have to come. OK really, I use a router by hand, no computer driven routers here, and draw out the design, person, or idea. Then I see how it will look appealing to me and, using the router again, eat out the background or foreground material to about a 1/4" depth. So all of the black or dark color is actually inset of the lighter color, stained or painted wood. It takes awhile to do and there are bobbles from the grain, but each piece is different.
Q.: What types of wood do you use?
A.: What type do you want the sign to be on? Where is the sign going to hang? Indoors or out? I can get almost any type of wood you can dream up. From Pine to Afrormosia and anything in between.
Q: What about custom orders?
A: I hope to have order forms up on the site soon to take custom orders for signs, cards, and jewelry. Our abilities are limited by your imagination. You dream it up, we'll figure out how to make it.
Q.: Where can we see the pieces in person?
A.: We are starting to get into the festival circuit, craft fairs, and soon specialty shops. Other than the web, that is it for right now.
