22-12 HANDCRAFT PRODUCTS 



Among the hardwoods that grow on southern pine sites are numerous species 

 favored for manufacture of handcrafted articles. Bentwood products such as the 

 handmade chair described in section 28-2 are readily made from white oak, 

 southern red oak, hickory, or ash. Sweetgum, white oak, and hickory turn 

 readily. Carved sculptures can be beautifully executed in ash and oak. Other 

 species also have special qualities needed in particular craft articles. Readers 

 interested in the manufacture of handcrafted articles will find useful references 

 listed on the initial page of chapter 18. 



Marketing of handcrafted products is usually difficult for artisans not experi- 

 enced in wholesale and retail selling. Kallio and Lindmark (1972) described the 

 operation of a cooperative formed to stimulate the manufacture and sale of 

 handcrafted products in a rural area of Kentucky. The cooperative, which has 

 minimal dues, maintains 30 to 40 active participants who provide inventory for, 

 and manage, a retail store and wholesale outlet. A shop is also provided with 20 

 work stations with room for 27 trainees and craftsmen.
