GENERAL INFORMATION STATEMENT and PRODUCT INFO
How to keep your bobbins shiny: the finest product you can use is the natural oil from
your hands. Therefore our best recommendation is that you use them often and they
will always look like they did on the day you received them. High quality
HARDWOOD: our bobbins are not coated or varnished. The wood is polished to its
natural high sheen: the hallmark of excellent hardwood. The types and sections of
wood are selected for their durability and other characteristics: resistance to termites
and other infestations. Their high density permits finishing the bobbins
without varnish or stain. Not a single endangered tree has been destroyed for their
manufacture. PRICES and order information: we will only charge (or process)
your credit card at the time we are shipping your order. The cost each is the listed
price at time of processing minus the discounts at that time. Prices and discounts
are subject to change without notice. The Lacemaking Circle DISCOUNTS may change
daily. The ORDER information you are sending uses a secure website and your Credit
Card information will be encoded. By using our online order system you agree with
the conditions stated in this statement. PRIVACY: Your name and information will not
