If you find woods with a story, let us know!! That's how we get the wood, but then we do extenisive research to make the story interesting!!
Right now, we have several Scotch Whiskey Barrel staves. I have over 20 hours of research in them, to make the story interesting and to be accurate and verified. So, for ONE blank, it doesn't merit this much work---for the Presidential woods (Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe), we spent a full week locating information and culling it to make the story absolutely accurate, and still interesting.
Takes a lot of time and a little writing ability. More than anything it takes a commitment to DO it!!
