As soon as I get caught up with my past orders, I will be making grips for the public and ironwood will be used frequently. If I had a dollar for every email or forum post asking for me to let someone know when such and such is available, I could retire early. I'm not trying to blow people off, but I honestly get so many emails and requests from people that I can't remember who wants what. I used to be able to do, but it seems my business has blown up this past year and I'm swamped with orders.

My recommendation, "friend" us on Facebook and get a heads up when new woods are going to be added to the website. Or starting in April, check the website on a weekly basis to see what comes up.

Thanks, I understood this already and was just paying the compliment. As for April, I will be watching. Great work and I appreciate the reasoning behind your business plan!

I'm not going to be searching for pieces that are similar to ones I've made in the past. I offer a truly one of a kind product and that's why people choose me. I would have some unhappy customers if all of my new products were based on something I made in the past. My suppliers know I am only interested in the unique pieces, so I will continue to make one of a kind sets.

The woods that I use are not something that can be mimicked or copied. I primarily use burls, and burl pieces are like snowflakes. No two pieces are alike. Asking to find two snowflakes that are as close to matching as possible would be a tremendous job. So is trying to find two pieces of burl.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I figured it would be better if I showed examples of past stuff rather than try to pimp stuff that is for sale.

But I won't complain one bit and will happily follow suggestions. I was generously given my own section here and have had a great experience here. I want to continue and will do whatever is asked.

I was in NO WAY wanting to stop the wood pron that is reflected here. I seem to have started a mess that was totally un-planned. I for one love to drool over some of this stuff and dream of having some of it one day.
