Samples of
the Castle Doors the Dry Wood
Dummies come from. Most come from
pillars,
not doors and the doors are too thin. |
Marble Wood
Dummies:
RARE Marble Wood Dummies:
The marble wood dummies
weigh up to 70 kgs (twice as heave as the dry
wood dummies). They come from twisted trees in the
very cold mountains of Japan, that's why they have a
marble look character. They are very HARD, and very RARE. Please
note the wood is harder and harder to secure.
Price is rising at about 75% a year so far.
Dry Wood Dummies
Dry
Wood Dummies:
Average weight of the dry wood dummies are about 35 kgs.
The material is very common in China in making heavy
castle doors and pillars for temples. The material
Buick uses to produce these dry wood dummies are
from old pillars which used to be in temples and
pagodas. He can get them because new China is taking
down a lot of old constructions to make way for new
constructions. These pillars are at least twice in
diameter and the dummies are rolled down to the size
of 21 cm in diameter. They are perfectly dried and
the virtue is they will not create cracks like fresh
commercial wood which due to rapid reduce of water
contents in dry Winter climates in many regions of
the world. The material is a Chinese plant, which I
still haven't found the English translation for it
yet, but is used extensively in history for pillars
of temples, castle doors, etc., such material had
proven it's everlasting nature.
Buick Carries two kinds if Wing Chun
Wooden Dummies. Dry Wood Dummies, and the super rare
Marble Wood Dummies. Both offer only the highest quality
wood and craftsmanship. Orders for 5-10 dummies
are usually placed at time. It is not unusual to
find these dummies being resold for well over $1000-$1500 each!
Get yours today while they are still available, because
the wood is hard to come by, and the could be
discontinued at any time!
