Death to composites! California fights back.

Question

Jake Clark of Armstrong-Clark stains was kind enough to email the following link. Funded by Humbolt County, for economic development, local TV ads will go on the air to encourage the use of redwood as opposed to composites.

Certainly applicable to other wood species. More info can be found here: http://www.californiaredwoodco.com/2013/04/real-strong-redwood-new-tv-ads-comparing-redwood-to-composites/

The two TV spots are:

Nice ads!! I know I prefer wood over composite...gee I wonder why....

Beth

Beth,

Could not agree more. Composites look and just feel bad. Even worse are those ugly white vinyl fences.

Wish we had more redwood in this area. Somewhat similar to clear WRC but richer in color. Here is a tread replacement we did years ago with old growth redwood shipped in from California. Gorgeous wood.

Oops, wrong picture. Same job, but a close up of the old growth redwood and my staining sneaker!

Man that's some woody porn there ......

The toes on your sneaker curling up look like how my shoes get when the stain dries them up!

Shane,

That's pretty good, could be a marketing slogan. Or, how about "Real Wood for Real People"?

Yep that pretty much sums it up Rick!

Perhaps if we could merge the two orgs (thus eliminate the infighting in public), I would be more inclined to sponsor a program that promotes wood and wood restoration. I doubt this an original thought.

Hmmmm... You have a better chance of merging the BDA with TGS and do there own show before these two orgs ever merge. No one can say that your not an optimist though Jake...

A joint convention by them "wood" be cool but can't see that happening anytime soon either but then again I am a bit Jaded by all of that stuff now..

One thing is certain. TGS rocks for Wood Restoration post-- & Composites bite compared to wood:)

OMG! I had the strangest looking pair of staining shoes for years. Tennis shoes. The toes were really curled up and the colors, I had the whole palate. Lasted for years. Got rid of them when the curl was so bad it made my feet hurt.

Beth,

Its raining, I'm bored ...

Here is my current crop of woodcare footwear. The sneaks will last for awhile longer, but the Bean boots are getting a bit punky.

Have a new pair but just hate to get strong stripper, bleach, and acid on new leather.
