doll house wood supply
I have been planing poplar wood down to 1/8" thickness for various projects,
and was wondering if this wood would be useful to the dollhouse maker or collector. I have lengths from a few inches on up to 36" boards. The poplar is very nice, lightweight, and the shades and tones vary. I even have some specimens with the famous the green and purple streaks. My question is, is this sort of thing of any value to the dollhouse collector, and if so, where could I share my pictures? One thing I don't want to do, is put it up on eBay, since that's what everyone else does. Gets kind of crowded in that box after a while. Thanks |

You can always hang out your own shingle on the web. If you're patient and act like a reputable business people will find you. Ebay's not a bad place to put small auctions that will draw interest to your business site. If you look around, you might find some craft-oriented auction sites or places you can advertise inexpensively online. Dawn |

Dawn,
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to stay away from eBay in the long term because I think that it is not for the little guy anymore, as it once was. I may list now and again on it, but not as a regular business. As for looking around to find "some craft-oriented auction sites" or places I you can advertise inexpensively online, that is what I was hoping someone with experience here could refer me to. I don't have a great deal of wood to offer, but thought it might be valuable to the crafter to buy if I could supply the wood cheaper than wholesale. I hope I don't seem too threatening to others doing the same. Thanks again. "Dawn" wrote in message ...

Hello Jav,
By all means is your wood valuable! And to those of us who build our miniature projects you are just the person we look for. I volunteer teaching the making of dollhouse miniatures to a large group of ladies in my town and have been fortunate to connect with a local cabinet shop who gives us all the scrap wood we can use! The scrap wood is beautiful! It's a shame they throw it away but I love having access to the barrels for my group. I get 1/4 inch cabinet grade plywood, mouldings, sticks, hardwood scraps, mdf, thick wood, thin wood...any kind of wood! The free wood enables me to cut the projects I design for my group and save them money. Our group has even used the wood on dollhouses we have given to local charitable organizations. So Jav, why not ask at your local library or Chamber of Commerce if there are any dollhouse miniature clubs or groups in the area. Give them a call and you will be welcomed warmly for the free wood you have to give them!! Have a wonderful day! Sans from Coastal Alabama |
