First off,
Thanks to everyone who has replied. I'm not a woodmaker? myself, and
actually couldn't tell you much about wood. (Gave up at 12 when I
chopped part of my thumb off when whittling).
Anyways, I'll definitely be contacting Mr. Dovey to talk about the
specs I need, since our orders will range from 1 to 5 thousand and need
quick turnaround times.

Thank you all for your advice here, as it has me looking into a couple
options for this project.
