[IBC] China Exporter

Pat Patterson

G'day all...

Does anyone know anything about johntyler77@sina.com.cn?

I received an email from John Tyler, in which he says "...we are one of the
main exporters of bonsai pots, stands, trees, pottery wine bottles in
China...".

It included pix of stands and pots, and IF there is any quality in these
products, the prices look pretty good.

We, SABE, are a young, struggling club in Southern Arizona, and we could really
use a reliable source for some relatively inexpensive (read that "cheap")
stands.

Comments are solicited!

Have a good day...

I don't know anything about the particular exporter, but the stands I
bough on E Bay are fairly small and not that expnesive BUT once you pay
shipping they are close to $30 each. (Don't tell my wirfe.)
Our club made some larger stands for the raffle at BSF 2004 at a
members home shop. The basic cutting was done by one or two guys and a group did
the final sanding, assembly and finish.
Not really a club meeting project but a good weekend club group
project.
If you don't have access to a wood shop many high schools and
community colleges have open shop nights for adults in the community. A few guys
could do the cutting at the shop and then more members could get together for the
sanding/assembly/finish stage.
If you want more information I will try to get our project leader to
write up what he did.

A write up would be very interesting, especially details of joint
methods, best timber and sources of patterns.
