 Colwood Woodburning Tools We at Colwood would like inform the message board of the following: Colwood Woodburning Tools and Personalized Gifts by Colwood www.woodburning.com is the ONLY official web site of Colwood Electronics, manufacturer of the Colwood line of woodburning tools. www.colwood.com is not a distributor of Colwood products and is in no way affiliated with Colwood Electronics. If you are looking for the quality and service that for thirty years Colwood Electronics has been known for you must visit www.woodburning.com. Do not be misled or deceived by the web site www.colwood.com; you will not find the Colwood line of fine woodburning tools at this site. Last edited by BobD : 07-31-2008 at 09:03 AM.

| Re: Colwood Woodburning Tools Thanks for giving us the heads up, Steve. That would be like one of our competing magazines buying the Wood Carving Illustrated - How To Magazine for Carvers and using it as a redirect to their site! Bob |

| Re: Colwood Woodburning Tools Steve from Colwood sent me the same message asking me to post it to my group and I have done that. I was flabbergasted to see it. I checked it out and it's true, Woodcarvers Supply has taken the domain name of Colwood and used it to direct people to their site. What makes this so underhanded is that they not only are not affiliated with Colwood but they don't even sell Colwood products. I realize they can buy the domain name if it is available but why on earth would a reputable business want to do that when they do not sell the products. Perhaps business is bad and they need to resort to deceit to attract business to their site. I agree with Steve this is unethical and unprofessional. Nedra

| Re: Colwood Woodburning Tools Our competitor has removed colwood.com from linking to their site. We have no doubt that the online community was instrumental in righting this wrong. Our sincerest thanks to all those involved. Colwood Woodburning Tools and Personalized Gifts by Colwood |

| Re: Colwood Woodburning Tools Wonderful news. I don't know what was going through his head doing that. It just is not good business practice to use another companies trade name to link to their business....especially when you don't have any affiliation with them or sell their products. Glad they had the sense to finally remove it, even if it took a public forum to get it to happen. Perhaps now they will relinquish the rights to that .com name to the rightful owners...Colwood Electronics. Nedra
