We are always looking for new and innovative
products to represent on our PatioandYards website. As mentioned in earlier
post, we travel to a lot of industry shows to seek out what we consider unique
and well made items that we would be proud to offer on our website. What a
surprise it was when we discovered a very small family run business right in
our own home town that makes laser cut wooden lake signs.
Each map is individually made and the
natural wood grain in the wood is enhanced by a hand rubbed stain and then
followed by three coats of lacquer creating a magnificent finished product. Our
customer can choose to receive it with a beautiful wood frame or without.
During the initial process our customers
are asked if they would like certain points of interest included in the map,
such as the location and name of marinas, parks, recreation areas, etc. We can
also have their personal family names etched onto the map and even provide a
Swarovski Crystal that can be added to show where their home is located.
We live on Lake Norman in North
Carolina, and our Lake Norman Wood map hangs right over our fireplace in the
living room. It’s gorgeous and when friends 1st come to our house we
invariably end up in front of the map pointing out where we live and then
tracing out the route that we’ll take to say a restaurant out on the lake.
By the way, the lake maps come in
several different sizes and we can even have them made up from 23” x 15” up to
about 6 ft. x 4ft. See picture!
On another note, we just opened another
website where we are offering hospital and waiting room furniture. Once again,
we found another manufacturer right here in our home town that just started producing
what we are calling Healthline Furniture. So if you are visiting your local
Doctor’s office, hospital or Urgent Care facility and you notice that their
waiting room furniture is looking tired and worn out, we appreciate it if you
could direct them to www.healthlinefurniture.com
