Fire Update
WE ARE STILL TAKING ORDERS FOR AN EXPECTED SHIP DATE BY THE END OF MAY! (SEE UPDATE BELOW)
A generous neighbor and friend has offered the use of their currently not-in-use commercial woodworking shop as we work through the insurance and rebuild. It will take us a bit to restock inventory, set our systems up and order and set up the specific tools we need for building our products.
Our reopening date is currently sometime in May before we start shipping combs, hackles and pickers again. (Some items will be available before others, but the plan is to have everything available to ship by the end of May.)
On February 22 we had a devastating loss. Our entire woodshop burned to the ground. This was a tremendous loss as we have invested years of improvements and systems in our shop. We are working with insurance on plans to rebuild as quickly as possible.
UPDATE: MARCH 7, 2025
Things are coming along quickly! We took inventory of the loss and submitted it to the insurance company. Now we are ready to turn our attention to our new woodshop space!
Bartholomew, our co-master woodworker at Bam Fiber Works, has been busy gathering supplies and tidying up the new space to get it ready for building custom jigs and worktables tailored just for our products and processes. Things are going to be coming together over this next week and looking a lot more woodshop-ish as we put things together. Tools are arriving, and we've also quickly acquired a couple of our hard-to-find tools!
In short, everything is on schedule and looking good for the end of May/early June ship date! I will give another update soon.

UPDATE: MARCH 19, 2025
Everything is coming together very well! Putting in long days in the shop. Our custom tables are built and in place where we assemble and craft our tools. Supplies are continuing to arrive. Wood storage racks are almost complete. Over the next few weeks, I will be focusing on rebuilding the specialty jigs and equipment we use for crafting our tools! Keep tuned for more updates as we move towards opening day!

UPDATE: April 8 2025
So much activity here in the shop. We are getting closer and closer to fulfilling orders again and are even ahead of schedule in a few areas!
Felting tools are getting very close to starting production. (It looks like some will be shipping before the end of the month along with felting needles) Pickers will follow next and will start to be built beginning of May.
Combs and Hackles will start shipping towards mid to late May, and will be crafted and shipped in according to your place in the waitlist.
Carders are also right on schedule, with all pre fire orders going out end of May beginning of June as planned, and the post fire orders going out June 20, (Or as promised in the listing at the time you placed your order)
If you have any questions. I am very happy to help!
