The following is a Dale approved, once in a great while commercial posting:
Hello all. I have managed to actually get ahead of most whistle orders, although I still have one or two people waiting for whistles in woods that I am still waiting for. As a result, I have several whistles ready for immediate (or very soon) shipment. Various wood/metal combinations. Please contact me off the board if you are interested. Thanks. Paul Busman
Hi, Paul.
That’s extremely cool. I think one of the things that might cause some people to shy away from purchasing a fine whistle from such a master craftsperson as you, is not being sure what their situation/interest will be in however many month/years it will take before the whistle’s available. It seems to me that I’ve seen whistles from the top makers go for more than their original price on the secondary market because the buyer was willing to pay a premium for not having to wait.
Best wishes,
Jerry
P.S. Hows the dogwood?
I hope to start a new batch with some dogwood in a couple of weeks, life permitting…
