Manzanita

Manzanita order came in yesterday!!! Im so EXCITED!! Now the voices are telling me I must BUILD! All the sandblasted will be constructed into a playstand. Will take me awhile to figure out exactly what I'm gonna do, and buy SS hardware.

Where did you order that from? I have been trying to find somewhere to order just the wood

Manzanita.com . The guy that runs the place was very helpful. He has good prices, though keep shipping costs in mind. This cost $150 to have shipped to me cuz he's in CA and I'm in KS, this also was sent to a commercial address, so wasn't as expensive as a residential address.

I would love,.....to have this wood for Shelby's stand, but it's so expensive.
I could see her chewing it apart quickly.

Looks like you have a Mcaw, does he chew and distroy this beautiful, but expensive wood ?

Do you mind if I ask how much the wood cost ?

That's an excellent price, especially when the stands themselves are more than that! It's ridiculous.

Oh my gosh....so jealous here! That is awesome! I will have to check out that website!! That sounds like a great price for all that too!!

 

[427HISS]

Isn't the $150 price only for the shipping, not the wood, or the total cost of both ?

 

[427HISS]

Bump.....for the wood price and the shipping ?

 

[Aquila]

Just the shipping, which for that amount and weight of wood is a really good deal. Go to their website, they have pretty decent pricing.

Sorry, was offline for quite some time and had t seen these posts. It's manzanita so holds up GREAT! Be prepared for some work prepping it. I broke multiple drill bits and wound up wearing out a couple of the diamond tipped bits. It's still in great shape and should last a long time. Nice thing is if they do eventually chew apart a certain area, just replace it with another piece. Will post pics of stuff I've made so far tomorrow.

Photos of what I've done so far. Needing to find some more spare time to make some toys. And will be removing the windows in her room in the next couple weeks and replacing with patio doors.
