I don’t post on here as much as I should. The woodworking and custom gift business is tough.
The most popular thing I’ve done that most people love are carpenter bee traps.
I started making these 3 years ago just for myself. Several friends saw them and how effective they where. After a couple friends asked me if I could make them some, I decided, why not just make a bunch.
That’s exactly what I did last year. I sold over 300. People driving over an hour to buy them from me. It was really hard to believe. Something so simple that people wanted.
Each one is made form 100% new materials top to bottom. I’ve even managed to get our son involved in some of the production process.
We have sold 70 so far this year and I just finished up 90 more.
I don’t have any intention on stopping until mid July when they seem to disappear around here.
