Wooden Business Cards

Ive seen TM's WOODEN buisness cards VERY VERY COOL!

OK, Ok, quit your drooling.

Just know these ARE available. I have called the company and asked it they'll ship international. They will. I said, "Even Australia?"
"Yes, even Australia."

Ok, let me introduce these pictures.

I mentioned earlier that I bought mixed species of page-size sheets of microveneer, Then cut them up as needed. 50 sheets of 10 each makes 500 cards, enough for me for years. That's a very small run for a printer, and I thought I was going to be saving myself some money, but it was really the same cost. I DO enjoy cutting up the cards, but I also do not recommend it and I'll get to why in a few.

You see, I have to carve a space on my desk top, cross-cut the sheets into these strips. You can do two sheets at once.

Tree Machine · 27th January 2008, 08:26 AM

Here I'm into a few minutes and a small stack of cards ready to go to work.

Tree Machine · 27th January 2008, 08:28 AM

Last card to be cut.

Tree Machine · 27th January 2008, 08:31 AM

And the final image, done.
Now I can go out into the field, business cards hand-forged from the origin of tree.

I said it when you first showed those and I'll say it again they are the coolest cards around!!!!

Tree Machine · 30th January 2008, 05:42 AM

The fine lady at Cards of Wood whose been helping me, her name is Tara.

Tara asked if I could send her the original art in Tiff format, that the JPEG we sent her came out fuzzy. It's because I sent the file at 72DPI instead of 300.

Tree Machine · 2nd February 2008, 05:50 AM

Anyway, Tara's recieved her TIFF file a few moments ago.
I have more questions for her, as do you.

I'm completely out of cards right now, and need them in swift order.

Oh Tara, click, click.....

Thank you!

Well, Hi Tara from Cards of Wood dot com. Welcome to treeworld!

For the readership, here's the Cards of Wood web page that describes the different available species.

As you can see from the responses, we really like your cards. I'll have to admit to our underlying fascination and mystique with the process from log to end product, but first things first.

I need to order cards and would be willing to do so here, in this place, to help the others understand the process.

Minimum 100, that's good to know. Is there a setup fee per card design? For example, I am working with two Kiwi climbers here in Indianapolis. I would like for them to have their own cards to hand out while they're here, the phone and all would be the same, but their names would be added, like so.......

Cards of Wood · 20th February 2008, 08:08 AM

Hi! The set up fee will be $15.00 per person.

Thanks!

So for the $15 you can make minor changes to original art at your end?

How much per hundred cards, Tara?

These cards are so special, people won't throw them away. I hve wooden business cards come up from ten years, three residences and two phone numbers ago. People hold tight to these cards.

Handed to the client, these cards make a solid visual moment, a class and professionalism that helps form the early impression of the Arborist.

First impressions can be everything.

Cards of Wood · 20th February 2008, 08:23 AM

Hi! Yes, we can make minor changes to artwork for the $15.00. 100 cards printed with 1 color of ink is $35.00 and 100 cards in more then 1 color is $55.00. There are breaks in the price as you go up in quantity.

You are right.... these cards are not easily thrown away!

Thank you!
