Howdy Folks,
It's that time of year again! The football season rolls closer (you don't have to like football to enjoy this collection!) and closer as fall approaches. I personally can't wait for the tailgating and brews!
A little back-story on the wood from Ohio Stadium:
Several years ago the original redwood bleachers from Ohio Stadium were willed to me by a dear friend. After releasing my first run of key-chains the local news media went crazy as did retail shoppers around town. Folks from around Ohio began to contact me about their small collection of redwood from the stadium so I decided to start buying as much as I could. I knew I had to expand the line of products but wanted to do it right.
Two years ago I teamed up with State of Devotion to release a limited number of unique ornaments made from the redwood. We continue this partnership to this day and are working on the newest batch now.
The stadium was renovated in 2000 ending the nearly 80 year use of the redwood bleachers anywhere in the stadium. Check out this production reel and see how I reclaim the wood!
