Crossroads’ first-ever Newsletter is about to be launched! I’ve been working on this baby for around a month now, trying to get all the details just right. Looking at other examples of newsletters, Crossroads’ is going to be a little different. Many newsletters I see are full of different articles on various topics. But Crossroads’ is going to be simple, with the basic goal of reminding our subscribers about what we do and letting them know what’s in our VAST inventory, by featuring a different product or process each month or so.
When you think about the whole lifetime of the lumber out in our yard, recycling wood becomes a very sentimental business. I want to share all aspects of this with our friends and customers. In the newsletter I want to give light to the lifespan of the wood, from characteristics of the living trees that were logged to the historic sources of the wood we have. I want to share with everyone the different processes, tools, and machines we use to turn salvaged wood into usable lumber, and the beautiful finished projects that our lumber makes. I’m sure that there will also be more to share about our business as we change and grow over the next few years.
I’ve been pleased to see that our mailing list is growing, both from my outreach and from the sign-up boxes on our website (bottom of the left menu bar) and our Facebook page (Become a Fan on Facebook…). I look forward to sharing a little bit about Western Yellow, or “Knotty” (NOT “naughty”), Pine in our first feature in the next couple of weeks. As soon as I figure out how I want to do the danged formatting.
Stay tuned….
