Please Note: This schedule is a rough outline, and the dates may shift a week or two in either direction. I’ll do my best to keep it updated every couple of weeks to provide you with the most accurate timeline.

December 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024: I’ll be dedicating December to preparing lumber for upcoming projects, ensuring everything is ready for the months ahead.

January 1, 2025 – March 1, 2025: During this time, I’ll be focused on creating the trays lined with Civil War-era newspapers. For more details about this unique project, please visit my Recent Blog or the Product Information Page.

March 2, 2025 – April 30, 2025: I’ll be working on the next batch of items, which will include between 100 and 150 boxes, carriers, and trays. If you’re looking for a specific item, feel free to reach out with your requests or inquiries—I’d be happy to help!

Thank you so much for your interest in my products and your support over the past thirty-plus years!

Starting in 2024, I've made the difficult decision to no longer offer pre-orders, where payment is made upfront and then I make the item. Instead, I will only offer items that are completed and ready to ship to you.

However, I will still take requests for specific items and contact you once they are completed. I believe this new approach will have several benefits for both you and me. I have no intention of slowing down in the workshop; in fact, I have several projects that I've been wanting to try for a long time. This new method will allow me to explore these projects and offer them for sale on the website.

Please read below for additional information on how items become available, how to request a particular item, and other pertinent details.

I'm more than happy to take requests! If you're looking for a particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email at robert@lehays.com or through the contact page by Clicking Here.

Additionally, you can now use the new "Request" button on each product page. This feature allows you to select the items and finishes you're interested in, enter your contact information, and send me the request directly from the website.

No matter how you contact me, I'll print your request and make a note to notify you when the item(s) become available, with no commitment to purchase on your part.

Your requests help me decide what items and finishes to work on next. Your emails and comments are very helpful!

Typically new items are listed for sale on the website every eight weeks or so. If you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for my newsletter – I always send out an email the day before new items become available.

In the 1990’s I sold most of my items to wholesale clients including several magazine companies, QVC and others. A few years ago, I made the decision to slow down a bit and discontinue my wholesale business and concentrate fully on retail sales.
However – if you are a needlework designer, craftsperson or are hosting a retreat and would like to use my items for one of your projects please contact me so we can discuss your idea. Although I no longer offer the “typical” wholesale pricing - I will gladly pass along savings that come from combined shipping, packaging and so forth. Please contact me at robert@lehays.com I’m happy to work with you!
