I think you are on to something about promoting local furniture like we do local food. Great idea.<br /><br />Scott -- I was thinking the same thing!Ellen Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158932570826154360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194161742476128031.post-54241006788783472952010-11-20T16:01:17.404-05:002010-11-20T16:01:17.404-05:00What are they using in place of this firewood?

We had a ratty couch for years because I just couldn't find one in a store that I liked and thought would last. Until we went into the local Pompamoosuc store. It was VERY expensive but it has served us well. And we really like the idea of supporting local furniture makers using native woods. The rest of our furniture, like yours, is found and occasionally created by me, though the more time I devote to art the less I devote to woodworking. And I'm most definitely a better artist than woodworker.<br /><br />I hadn't heard of parawood but I suspect it like most 'miracle cures' really isn't. Thanks for writing about it. I wonder what would happen if people started insisting on locally made furniture just as some are doing with locally grown food. Unfortunately in bad economic times I fear the added costs would just be too much for most people.Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.com
