First, thank you so much for your interest in my products and your support over the past thirty plus years! In 2024 I’ve made the difficult decision to no longer offer pre-orders – and instead only offer items for sale that are completed and ready to ship to you. I’ve decided to take this approach for a variety of reasons – however I’m in hopes there will be several benefits – both for myself and for you the customer. I have no intention of slowing down in the workshop – in fact I have several projects that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. I’m hoping this new approach will provide a chance to try a few of these and offer them for sale here on the website!

Please read below for additional information on how items become available, how to request a particular item, along with other pertinent information.


When will Items become Available?

Around the third week of April (currently set for 4/17/24) I'm planning on listing several items for sale here on the website. Then in May of this year, I’m doing a small workshop expansion, a new lumber processing area. Shortly after that I’ll start offering new items for sale on the website every six to eight weeks. If you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for my newsletter – I always send out an email the day before new items become available.

Requesting a Particular Item

I’m more than happy to take requests! If you are in search of a particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email at robert@lehays.com or by the contact page located by CLICKING HERE. I’ll print off your email with a note to contact you when the item becomes available (with no commitment to purchase on your part).
These requests also help me decide what product to make next, what finishes may be popular and so forth. Your emails & comments are very helpful!


Information for Designers, Retreat Organizers, Wholesalers, etc. (Large quantity orders)

In the 1990’s I sold most of my items to wholesale clients including several magazine companies, QVC and others. A few years ago, I made the decision to slow down a bit and discontinue my wholesale business and concentrate fully on retail sales.
However – if you are a needlework designer, craftsperson or are hosting a retreat and would like to use my items for one of your projects please contact me so we can discuss your idea. Although I no longer offer the “typical” wholesale pricing - I will gladly pass along savings that come from combined shipping, packaging and so forth. Please contact me at robert@lehays.com I’m happy to work with you!
