Mailing a stave
« on: June 10, 2011, 12:03:16 am »
Been a long while sent I sent a piece of wood! Will send USPS, to Florida. How are you folks packaging if any, and labeling?

Thanks for your info!

X2 on the plastic wrap.  Works great!  I wrap a little packing tape around it ever foot or 2 to make me feel better, but I doubt it's necessary.  Saranwrap came out with some red plastic wrap over the holidays which got them chuckling at the PO.

Thanks folks! I have shrink wrap, industrial size, and also large rolls of butcher paper! Sounds like either will work.

Heading to Cloverdal with my son in a bit. If any of ya are there, look us up at the Muzzleloading overhang. Be just down from Gary Davis.

Happy Father's Day to ya all!
