Roger Vardy Stockwood and the Coronavirus

With the threat of the Coronavirus, there are concerns of businesses and industries closing. We will continue to operate as per usual and offer this message to remind individuals of our services. As a result of the Virus, the Australian Dollar, the currency used for our business is low in comparison to the US. ($1 USD trading for $1.73 AUD) This drop means the blanks are selling for roughly 40% mark off the listed Australian price.

At this stage freight has not been affected for exports, however as the situation changes, customers will be contacted.

Thanks Roger, your wood has always been top quality and can't beat your service.

Mr. Vardy,

Well, not quite 40% off considering the exchange rate had been averaging $1.30AUD to $1USD before the latest rundown.
But, from a .77 multiple to .57 is huge.
Have you changed any prices to compensate for lower rates of exchange or kept them the same across the board?

TR235 (for one) has potential if one knows how to stain match.

Heres a 1903 stock I'm carving up using Roger Vardy wood. As pictured the wood is only sanded to 150grit and has nothing on it. Wood carved up just fine.

Got a bit French here:

I completely agree. The best deal for shipping is four blanks in a bundle!
