I figure I got two weeks in about 25 sets of these things so I'm gonna sell them for 50 bucks and ear..... sounds cheaper one at a time. Italian Cypress cones and you probably won't ever find any more like these unless you go to Mars or somewhere else cause the first time I tried this last year they all fell to pieces but if a person got time to waste he can over come anything... The ones over on the right side are special order models so that jacks up the price way up there. These are all on the special drying rack so they don't give the Cypress virus to any one once they start wearing them. I noticed my wife sleeps in hers for fear of someone coming in and swiping them!

Good article on outdoor woods: https://www.woodmagazine.com/materials-guide/lumber/outdoor-lumber?cid=369791&did=369791-20190425&mid=20453126205&utm_campaign=wood-online_newsletter&utm_content=042519&utm_medium=email&utm_source=woodmagazine.com I probably have mentioned this before: In the town I moved from 3 years ago, they were looking to replace the wood in the park benches (cast frames). They went to the store that Steve Mickley (prior host of finishing at Wood Forums) and asked for some red oak. He told them, once he found out what they wanted it for, was that he'd put them on a two-year re-order schedule because it wouldn't last outside. He recommended Ipe. They sprung for it. One of the benches was in front of the park that was 100 yards away from my house there and I walked past it 4 or 5 times a week. It was a busy street and I'm sure it got regular sprays of salt-treated slush (the city used to send past all their plows, 5 of them, in a convoy during snowfalls). It aged to a beautiful gray, no great cracking,and no mossy residue that I've often seen on teak. It looked great after about 15 years of nothing. I also had a job once to replace a back support on an Adirondack chair. I had a piece of white oak that I graciously volunteered to do it in. The lady sort of stuck her nose in the air and said, "Oh, this is for a house in Indian Hill*, and the original is teak." "OK," I said. I went to see Steve and he graciously cut off a 2' section that was the right width for me and charged me the $20 for the piece. There were probably six cuts I had to make, all at some angle or bevel and the right dimension that I had to replicate. I think I charged a total of $40 for the material, the trip to the store and the half-hour of shop time. The lady was shocked that it was "so expensive." (sigh) Rich but cheap snob. * Indian Hill is the most affluent part of town where most of the C-level execs at the big companies live, most in 5000+ sq.ft. mansions and 10+ acre estates. I've since worked in a number of them that were some of the most expensive homes in the county.
