Efeeks

With our trees most of the cost is contributed to the amount of time it takes to make the tree. We pride ourselves in working quickly while not sacrificing quality in any way. Note that the taller the tree, the more expensive because with each additional tier, the amount of feather work increases dramatically.

Our trees are different in three main ways. First, we extend our wires so that our tree trunks are uniform in thickness all the way to the next tier. Second, glue does not hold up well in humid or hot places, and as a result many antique trees have lost feathers over short amounts of time. We secure our feathers with both glue and thread, ensuring our feathers will stay secured through the years. And third, we take special care to detail about which feather we use on every branch to create a mostly uniform feather width the entire branch long, which looks nice. We feel these simple differences are not a sacrifice of traditional tree making, but are improvements which add quality and longevity to a loved holiday decoration.

Your tree will last longer if you store it in a place that does not vary greatly in humidity and temperature, like a closet- not in an attic or shed. Also, if you store it in a loose bag or box with wood chips to absorb moisture, this will help. When folding branches, be sure to place your hand doing the folding close to the trunk to keep your branches straight.

Yes, yes I do! Anytime of year is a great time for Christmas music and it helps me be in the mood of tree making.

I love real trees, and we usually go up and chop one down in the forest, but I also love my feather trees for a few reasons. First, they do not drop their needles or get that aweful plastic dust all over my home. Second, they fold up impressively small and are lightweight and therefore do not take up much storage space and do not take two people to move. Third, they look stunning year after year when properly cared for. After 6 years of building with our current methods we have not had 1 feather come loose from our tree and have not had one customer report losing a feather or any issues with the structural integrity of our trees. Our trees are the antique feather trees of the future!
