Rattan poles available

[Paul n Shelley]

Hi friends;

Just wanted to let you know about a great perma-recycling opportunity.
An acquaintance of mine has a ton of 6-8' rattan poles available for
cheap and possibly even for free, depending on whether or not you can
pick them up. The rattan poles are approximately 1-1.5" in diameter and
are excellent for use as furniture, trellising, garden stakes, fencing,
or as building or craft material. The rattan was harvested in Asia about
25 years ago and abandoned by a local furniture maker, but it's in
excellent condition. He also has quite a bit of squared-off rattan
"lumber" that measures 2" x 2" x 8'.

Please contact Glen Addis at 310/214-3366 or via cell phone at
310/387-4165 to negotiate a price. If you are with a non-profit
organization, he will likely give you the material for free, provided
you can give him a charitable contribution receipt and pick the material
up. Pick-up site is in Torrance, CA. Please tell him that Paul from Long
Beach Organic referred you to him.

Happy building!
