American Made Birdhouses.

came about the day I asked my Daddy (yes, we still say Daddy here in East Texas!) to build a birdhouse for me. Being a wise man, he told me to come on over and I'll show you how. And sure enough, when I arrived he had a shiny circular saw for me, just waiting to be put to use. (I feel it is quite important to point out--as a female from the South, I had no clue which end of the thing was up, much less what to do with one!)
I watched and listened closely that hot & humid afternoon as my Daddy patiently explained the how to process. Somehow he managed not to laugh out loud too much as he watched me clumsily butcher several pieces of wood. And then something magical happened....I got the hang of it!

Daddy didn't realize it then, or maybe he did, come to think of it. He had done so much more than show me how to use a circular saw and build a birdhouse. He gave me the confidence to do it myself! Soon I began to design custom gifts for my family. Then for my friends. And their friends...and THEIR FRIENDS' FRIENDS....a definite mushrooming effect. I had become obsessed with my new found passion. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The following is a reply from Texas On Board to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
