I hope you and your family were able to actually “celebrate” this year’s Christmas, even though you likely spent it quite differently than in years past.  I’m optimistic the “New Normal” that will follow this pandemic will be favourable with no serious glitches.

The worst part of this global business slowdown for my company is that material prices have spiked and some of the items that I have shipped from various parts of the US are difficult to obtain until the US/Canada border reopens.  As a result of all this uncertainty, I am unable to maintain the same prices that have been unchanged since early 2019.

It should be noted that I’ve had many requests for postponements that are directly related to the insecure financial situation this virus has created.  It might take a while before our economy heals and we are back to the state we were in prior to all this uncertainty, but I will continue with my trunk building and contacting you folks on the wait list.  Some of you may be contacted a LOT sooner than you expected so don’t be surprised if you get an email from me advising your name has surfaced.  Please don’t hesitate to send an email to find out where you are on my list and when you might expect your name to surface (or resurface), so you don’t miss out.

Looking forward to another busy year in the shop and being able to get more trunks out to you all.
