Mr. Hickson,
Please understand that the items on my website are representative of
work that I perform. An order of your size will take approximately 90 days
to complete if I drop all the other orders I am currently working on.
The spalted maple (#106) is a one off item. I do not at present have
any spalted maple of this quality. I can possible procure some lesser grade
material but I offer no promises.
The total for the 140 items you wish to purchase will be approximately $
7500 US dollars. As a first time customer and for such a large order, I
will require a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure the order and with which
I will purchase the necessary timbers and supplies to produce these items.
A cashiers' check will suffice. Please make it payable to:
my name and address to which I want it sent.
do you think I should begin work on this order now?
