They're three dollars and 50 cents at a local big box store. A three-foot dowel rod which is two dollars. So, for less than 6, you can make this entire tree. So, for the large tree, the six-foot tree, it is made out of six two by fours and really I probably could've made it with less. There would have been a lot of odd cuts on the boards and things like that. So, I just kept it simple. In the center, I do have a piece of six-foot conduit. This electrical conduit and the reason why I chose that is just for its strength. It was six by and these will sell. They're unique. Not everyone out there is making them. The people that I have found that are making the taller trees, they're selling for over $300 a piece. I use reclaimed material for this build but if I had to purchase this material, it would cost me less than $30. So, think of that percentage markup but the smaller ones, I think this is where the money is going to be. They're super fast to build and 1two by four. If you're paying $3 and a half for a two by four and by the time you get all of your material in it it's around five bucks if you can sell this for 45 or 50 and I really do not think that you will have any trouble selling them at that price point as long as it's marketed correctly and staged up correctly these are cool trees I mean they're just they're just cool so this is a perfect example of our being creative in this series and making money with woodworking because the creativity is what is going to sell your products to be successful in any business. I know I've said it a thousand times and I'm going to say it again. Think outside of the box.
