BROOTEN, MN –Glacial Wood Products is launching a new online store that will offer high quality wood components. The online store is being added to glacialwood.com to offer new conveniences to Glacial Wood’s customers.  Online shoppers will be able to buy table legs, posts, appliqués, bun feet, corner guards, room dividers and corbels from the online store. In most cases, the wood components will be shipped within 5 business days, from the company’s Brooten, Minnesota manufacturing center.

“Some of our clients have repeatedly ordered similar sized components for their furniture, cabinet and building projects. To answer that need and to simplify their ordering process, we have created an online store,” says Dick Johnson, President of Glacial Wood Products. “Later this year, we’ll have some fun and add novelty items like wood plates, mini baseball bats and magic “Potter” wands.”

Online shoppers will be able to choose from four wood species for table legs, posts, appliqués, bun feet, corner guards, room dividers and corbels. Glacialwood.com will also offer the components in a variety of sizes and lengths. Many wood turnings in the online store can also be ordered with the additional options of roping, reeding and fluting. Shoppers will be able to use PayPal for billing.

Glacial Wood Products will continue to offer custom wood turnings. “We’re still offering all of our custom services,” says Dick Johnson. “At Glacial Wood we pride ourselves in creating exactly what our clients want… and we’re able to make those components in over 30 wood species. We are not going to stop doing that- Custom work is our bread and butter and it’s what I love to do.”

Check out the new online store at Glacialwood.com starting on March 8, 2010.
