 About our Wooden Insulators

Wooden Insulators

All of our wood turnings are finely sanded, coated with Danish Oil and finished with 3 - 5 coats of lacquer, with additional sanding between each coat of lacquer to ensure the best finish possible. Every insulator we produce is a full size replica of the original insulator. Each is unique due to the different grain patterns that emerge in each finished piece. None of the insulators we produce have stain applied - each is given clear lacquer to allow the natural beauty of the wood to show through.

Each piece is signed and dated, and none are threaded, so they cannot be confused with an actual insulator that ever saw service on a pole. These wooden insulator replicas have been approved by the National Insulator Association.

Special orders are accepted and encouraged. If you'd like a specific CD, wood or even a particular CD made smaller or larger than actual size, just ask! If it's something we can do, we're happy to fill your needs. We have worked with several "CD collectors" to fill spaces on pieces that they're missing from their collection. Let us fill those holes in YOUR collection!

Are you hosting a swap meet or a show? Talk to us about producing awards trophies for your next event. We've filled orders for several shows, and we're happy to help make your next show a special one!

About our Display Cases

Custom Display Cases

All display cases produced are made to your specifications, and can be delivered (within a 300 mile radius of Park Forest, IL - with the recipient responsible for travel expenses and no charge for travel time or set up), available for pickup, or special arrangements can be made for shipping on smaller units. A variety of lumber is available, and each case built uses 5,000K, 86 Color Rendering Index daylight bulbs for true color rendering, and white sign-grade acrylic for the backs. Glass shelves are available, but wood and acrylic are other options. We will work with you to fit your space, design and budget requirements!
