Background:
Handcrafted, sanded, and stained by hand by Sy Hoang, the seller. These are handcrafted from the seller's own wood shop in San Jose, California. Once a year, the seller travel straight to the local and crafts village of Vietnam--Lang Vac, Hue, Bien Hoa, etc. to source the materials from local wood craftsman and carvers.
Quality of wood:
Depending on the models, but in general I pick only the best quality wood for materials: rosewood (cam lai) , Mun Ebony which is native only in Laos and Vietnam, and hardened high quality bamboo. The bamboo sticks will last up to 20+ years without bending. These are not after market Chinese cages that will warped or bend in 2-3 years, as with most cheap bamboo.
About the seller: Sy Hoang have been collecting birds and crafting cages for 30+ years in Northern California. This is a lifetime passion and a one-man operation. He is just a simple family man with kids off to college and more time for hobby and bird cage crafting. He can communicate in basic English and this was written by his kids. Please understand that Q&A will be a bit slow in the messages, but he will bug his children to translate and get back to you.
Shipping Cost:
The shipping costs is high because Sy buy extra foam padding and materials to make sure the cages arrive in pristine condition.
