I like the hurricanes.

You might want to check out http://www.ancientwood.com/ and http://www.stabilizedwood.com/wssi.shtml for woods to use.

The first is the supplier I got the handle material the hunting knife the was raffled. The second is my main supplier. Not only is his taste in wood incredible but the stabilization process makes the finishing a cake walk and gives you access to woods that would normally be to soft to use.

Wow! Cool websites. Thanks for the tip!

Very nice stuff David. Congrats on the site also - very professional. Good luck and I'm sure you'll be getting an order from us soon (we have many candles in the house).

Thanks Jim. Be sure to ask for my special "Lamont" rate. Much cheaper.

you guys are so talented.... I can hardly opened a bottle of whisky. I like the center one.. simple yet interesting. would look nice on my mantle

David · President - CLSNA

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Since George brought up how nice that would look on his mantle (and I know he nor Jim R. would ever buy one wink ) I have been thinking. I'd like to do my part to help at some point with donation products similar to Jim's knife. Products that can be raffled perhaps and go to the Manse project.

The problem is the products I am making are not as coveted as Jim's knife and won't generate the same kind of dollars. However, I know who my customer is and it's not you guys . . . it's your wives. Perhaps you could make an argument that the women of our clan might be more apt to donate a raffle dollar on a decorative accessory. I'm not sure.

Maybe a Dunoon Memorial candle base or something? Is this unrealistic? Not feasible? Waste of time?

We may be cheap, but as long as we bring the whisky, everyone still likes us. Hmm...don't know why that is.

Hard to imagine.

Don't discount your work David. I'd buy a ticket or two and if everyone else does it'll add up. That's the advantage of raffles.

David,

It has been 13 years now but the chandelier still looks good in our living room. It needs a bit of dusting but I am no longer allowed on ladders so I will have to wait for my wife to be out of the house.
