A New Family Business

So... If pottery Barn can sell what appears to be sections of telephone poles for $200 and $250, what's to prevent us from doing so? I believe I have a calling in this business! I could still call them "reclaimed-wood stools" couldn't I? Surely my brothers will be eager to help sell these lovely hunks of wood.  It seems that they're the perfect perch for iPod speakers as well! Perfect!

You could also find Cypress Tree logs as they show here, but they are only $200 each ;)

It seems like you've found the latest furniture trend. BTW, did you know that furniture is often marked up 300%? Hmm... sounds like a good way to earn money for college or rainy day fund ;)



Re: A New Family Business

I've often wondered if one could make money on a furniture like this. But like the lazy loafer I am, I've never tried it myself! :)

Hope you make a million dollars!
