"Knock on Wood" is a pretty common expression known to most everyone, generally
used to ward off evil and/or to bring good luck. "Touch Wood" has also been used around
the world at different periods of time. No one knows for sure how far this tradition goes back, but traces of its
use goes back for many generations when people thought their ancestors were in the trees and would help to
guide them in life. Considering how important wood is in our lives and that it has provided warmth of fire against the cold,
cooking of meals, tools and shelter, not to mention the very air we breath. wood is a remarkable renewable
resource and must be cared for. Our forests are like gardens, to get maximum use we can't lock them up, but
care for them like a garden we need to keep them from getting to dense, they and the other fona will grow better.
If a forest gets to dense it will choke on itself and mother nature will eventually burn the forest and start over as
it has countless times, but that is wasting our resources, causing pollution and though its a blip in time, we may not live
long enough to see the next generation of trees. We definitely don't want to clear cut them because the soil will wash away. You
might be interested to know that young trees give off more oxygen and scrub more CO2 than old ones, hence "renewable
resource ". " Thinning of a forest not only helps promote growth of the forest but a multitude of other plants
that balances our ecosphere, giving us its life force, its beauty, and our very lives. Again, if not cared for, a forest will
become conjested and start to choke on itself at which time nature will simply step in and burn it, to start all over again
like has for millions of years cuasing pollution instead of scrubbing the atmosphere of CO2 and giving off Oxygen. As the
the Ice Age has been ending our forests are growing farther north while also being more hospitable for crops, have you
seen Alaska's 100 lb. cabbages or 20 lb. carrots ?

We take pride in beautiful workmanship. The wood we use is
recycled from an old tree stump, tore down building, old sauna or even scrapes of siding from a construction job, Hey ! Can't
stand waste ! We actually use the saw dust. In the production of our products we use natural eco friendly, non toxic
materials for the art work and finishes. But please, common sense should tell you that if you let your dog chew on it,
use it for a door stop, put it in a vise , hammer a nail through it, there will be damage. There can be wear from
the handling of the keys, scratches, dings or dents over a period of time so it really depends on how rough
you are with things, but actually, they hold up quite well. I've been using pieces for years. Tottlers have, but its
not a chew toy for a baby. So we make no guarantees implied or written and take no responsibility for damage, theft or
lose of any of these products in any way shape or form after delivery and that our products are nothing more
than a novelty item. There is absolutely no promise or guarantee of good luck or that something unfortunate will or will
not happen to you or anyone else. Hey some people are luckier than others, maybe it comes from positive thinking, being

that is out of the way, check it out, we have something for every body or we will custom make it for you.
