Mr. Henderson-

Are you an approved vendor yet? If so, then you are sure on your way to being a bigtime candidate from all of the great things I've seen, read and heard about your wares. ;)
Maybe I'm not seeing your name on the list... if so, mea culpa.

Look forward to doing business with you in the future, sir.

Great stuff -Johnny

Chris,

I looked at the web site Looks great. I too was impressed with Sorchy's desk. You do not have any prices on the website . Could you give us an idea how much some standards are so we can have some sort of idea????

Re: C.R. Henderson and Sons Ltd.

In order to stay in the good graces of AC land, if you want pricing, email me. One of the things I love doing most is talking with people and getting what you need on a personal level. I have made more friends through my business than money (believe it or not) and it has been well worth it.

Mr. Lloyd, first, it was an honor to serve with you at Outpost. Thanks for making the numerous sacrifices you did to make down to get your coffee stole. Second, no, I'm not an approved vendor as of now. I am apprehensive about the changes in my workload if said approval does occur.

Folks, I only get to work in my shop for three nights a week and an occasional weekend due to being a full time cabinetman (I drive a truck and throw cabinets in houses) and a husband and father of three. I also try to make 7 or 8 reenactments a year (mainstream and authentic) so when I get more than 4 or 5 orders at once, I get swamped. What really helps is when my customers come to me with realistic expectations of how long it takes me to do stuff and when they are going to need it. If I rush my work, it turns out like crap and then I have to remake it cause, let's face it, if I wouldn't use it, I wouldn't expect you to either. I literally burned the first table I built because I didn't like the way it turned out- no joking, I busted it up and threw it in my woodburning stove 2 winters ago and my it was toasty! I really appreciate all the praise everybody and look forward to continuing to supply the hobby with my wood.;)

Re: C.R. Henderson and Sons Ltd.

If you have purchased a hardtack box from me, the stencil on the lid is not correct and in an effort to produce the most accurate reproductions, I have done research and cut a new stencil that I am proud of. It is spot on! If you have purchased one of the boxes from me and would like to have me redo your stencil with the new, correct one, just ship me the lid with a return shipping label and I will scrape off the old paint and apply the new stencil at no charge! All you end up paying is the round trip shipping! To see the new stencil, go to my website.

Mods, if you don't approve of me making this kind of announcement, I understand if you delete this post or do whatever other kind of reprimand is necessary. I just want to make sure that I'm giving everyone who has bought one of the boxes from me to have the opportunity to get it fixed right!

Re: C.R. Henderson and Sons Ltd.

I just received my drop front desk from Mr. Henderson. Like I told him, I've been sitting here looking at it trying to come up with the proper adjectives to describe it. What a fine piece of furniture. Mr Henderson's customer service is first rate. During the process he kept me informed of how the project was progressing and even included pictures. I feel like I was part of the process. He took my ideas and went completely beyond my expectations. I can't wait for him to build my next idea. Great work, Chris. Thank you.
