We try to anticipate questions you might have about
our Lakes of Wood and provide the
answers here. If you need additional information send email to heartsol@newnorth.net . |

Is my favorite lake available as a Lake
of Wood? |
If there is a lake depth map available for your lake, then it
can be made into a Lake of Wood. There are over 5500 depth maps
available for Wisconsin lakes, and over 7500 available for
Minnesota lakes! In other states the number varies from dozens to
hundreds, and you don't have to know if a map exists or not. Feel
free to ask us! We will find out for you at no charge. That is why
they call me the "Lake Guy". Mitch |

How much will my Lake of Wood
cost? |
The price of a Lake of Wood is determined by the structure of
the lake itself. The number of islands, underwater humps and the
length of the shoreline all increase the price, for they increase
the labor and materials. Lakes of Wood begin at $130.00 US.
The five Great Lakes in scale as a set sell for $1000.00. The
average Lake of Wood retails for around $150.00 to $180.00. This
price includes your Lake of Wood, the Lake Name Plaque, as well
as a personalized icon, and sales tax. Shipping is an
additional $20.00 UPS Ground Insured. |

|
How big will my Lake of Wood
be? |
Each Lake of Wood is cut from six 1/8" thick sheets of red
oak veneer that measure 18" x 32" when we begin. So each lake
would fit inside a 18" x 32" rectangle, and will be a little over
3/4" thick. Long, narrow lakes which can be cut diagonally from the
rectangle, may measure as long as 33". These dimensions do not
include the Lake Name Plaque, which hangs separately. |
|
|
Can my Lake of Wood be shipped to
me? |
Each Christmas season we ship Lakes Of Wood all over the US
via UPS Ground Insured. Shipping cost is $20.00 per lake. On
multiple orders, up to three wooden lakes can be shipped together
for one ship fee. Lakes arrived in Arizona, California and
Florida three to five business days after leaving us
here in northern Wisconsin. |

|
Once I order, how long before my Lake is
ready? |
After ascertaining that a lake depth map is available for your
lake, we ask that you send a check or pay with your charge
card commissioning Lakes of Wood to create your lake. Your
personal Lake of Wood will be ready in a timely manner, depending
upon which season your Lake of Wood is ordered in. Summer and Fall
have the longest waiting period due to the large number of
Christmas orders we fill each year. Currently, a "Lake of Wood"
ordered in the winter months, (January - March) will be ready in 45
to 60 days. April - July orders are ready in 75 to 90 days. After
August 1st, orders are finished on a first come first serve
basis. The earlier you order for Christmas, the more we appreciate
it, and the more time we have to put into your specific "Lake of
Wood". |
