Hi,
I'm trying to find American made little peg people. Basically, those I find in stores and online are all manufactured in China. Every company I have spoken with has told me it's impossible to find an American source for these, but I just can't accept that. I'd like to have these made in the USA by a local woodworker or wood company. (I'm in Raleigh, so closeby would be fantastic!) I was referred here by the good folks at Woodcraft, in the hopes that I might find someone who'd like to tackle this project.
I need 100 each of the following shapes and approx. sizes* (This Web site has images similar to what I'm looking for http://www.woodcrafter.com/angelsandpeople-2.aspx).
3 9/16" X 1 1/8" Large Man
3.5" X 1.5" Large Woman (like the "small angel")
2 3/8" X 7/8" Med Man
2 3/4" X 2/4" Med Woman wavy (like "Hardword Pawn")
2" X 7/8" Girl wavy
2" X 7/8" Girl with skirt ("angel", not wavy)
1 11/16" X 5/8" Boy
1 1/8" X 5/8" Toddler
*The peg people should be made from American-sourced wood, preferably FSC certified.(If using poplar dowels, Lowes carries Madison Mill's dowels and I think those are FSC-cert and American.)I've provided the sizes as a starting place, and actual sizes can deviate slightly based on what makes most econominical sense given the source material size. They will not need to fit in anything, but basically I need them to scale against each other as they will be used as families.
Once I get them, they will be painted, so I prefer to receive them ready to be painted.
Thank you SO much for reading and for your consideration. I really hope this project is appealing! If you know of any American company that is already making these, I'd be so thankful for the redirection. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at becky@monkeychimonkeydo.com .
