About our company, the products we
sell and
the service you will receive:
We know that buying a woodburner can be overwhelming. There are so many brands on the
market, so many options, warranties, etc. We want to make your buying
experience pleasurable and we want to be sure that you have the right burner and
tools for your needs and budget.
Nedra personally researches and uses every item she sells, especially the
woodburning tools. Some of
the
criteria for the selection of woodburning tools includes: superior customer support
from the company, prompt and efficient service and delivery of products,
lasting quality of the product and it's ease and comfort in use. Nedra has
a personal relationship with each and every supplier and tool manufacturer
that she represents. She ensures that they understand the
importance that Nedra gives to supporting her customers and how will he/she
extend themselves to make sure that every customer is happy with his or her
purchase. You can be assured that everything you find in our catalog has
been tested and used by us and we will stand behind it.
"It has to be not only the best, but if I wouldn't use it myself I won't
sell it and if I wouldn't sell it to my mother, I won't sell it to you"
says Nedra.
We are a small family business
(it's just Alan, Nedra and the "Two Amigo's" our furballs) and we work hard to provide you
with great, personalized service because we realize that without you, we wouldn't have a
business. We specialize in woodburning tools, supplies, and gourd art
supplies. We do not
have a massive catalog filled with all kinds of other tools and equipment.
This is our specialty and because of that we can offer you, our customer, expert
advise and service.
In addition to excellent service, we stand behind what we sell.

How are we different
Nedra has been teaching and selling woodburning tools and supplies
since 2001. It's all we do so we not only know about the needs of
woodburners, we know our products and we want to help you select the right
product!
Nedra is frequently contacted by suppliers and manufacturers to sell their
products but she is very particular about who our company represents. The
companies we do business with are only those who we feel meet our standards in
excellence.
We have one of the largest inventory of
woodburners, pens and accessories and try to ensure that all products are in stock at all times.
We were the first to offer
woodburning starter kits with everything you need and the widest choice of options.
Our
kits are now available for Colwood and Razertip woodburners.
Razertip has worked closely with Nedra and made many pens for her based on her specifications
including the HD5MP, HD5MSP, #14D, #9P, and the #99 ball stylus pens.
Colwood has also worked closely with Nedra to create the E45, E45S; 5 XS, S, M
and refined the polish on the tips to her specifications.
The Colwood pens we sell all come with foam grips and highly polished tips.
We offer you great prices on
all woodburning tools and accessories as well as the best overall service...don't believe us,
just see what our customers say about us (please see comments at
bottom of page).
We work hard at making our website user friendly. That means it's uncluttered,
easy to find what you are looking for and easy to navigate around our website.
We want you to have a pleasing experience and work hard to make that happen!

Here's what some of our customers
have to say about us
(quote used with permission):
"Wow, I can not tell you how amazed I was to find my order on my front porch
yesterday. All I kept saying was 'wow' in amazement. That was the
fastest and greatest service, I have ever had from anyone! Including all
the big companies out there too! I was impressed just with the
notification of receiving my payment and when shipping was going to occur.
Thank you very much". - C. Simpson, Oswego, IL
"Thank you so much!
Just wanted to let you know I already received the package and am burning away!
Appreciate your prompt service and will no doubt be a returning customer! - Thank you, CL Henson, San Diego, CA
"Thanks so much for
answering my questions and sending out the woodburning tool so quickly! The
package arrived on Saturday, just a few days after I placed my order. I spent
the majority of my weekend trying out the new tool. It's so much better than
a handheld craft burner; easier to control, lighter weight, and more stable on
my work space. I just wanted to send you a rave review and thank you again
for your help. When I need supplies again, I'll definitely be ordering
through your site". --- A. Champlain, Minneapolis, MN
"I love visiting Sawdust
connection's website. It is very informative. I have one of Nedra's
books and I have enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to learning and using
the Burnmaster. The service is fantastic, no time a wasting, I will always
rely on Sawdust Connection for my pyrography needs". - B. Kuehn, Winthrop, MN
"Thank you again for being so
prompt at getting back with me. You make me feel like I am the only
special customer you have which I know I'm not but that is the way I feel.
It's like going into a store and every one is trying to help you while you are
shopping. Anyway, that is the way you make me feel, Special. Anyway, Thanks". -
Keith Hickman, Roswell, NM
"Just wanted to let you
know the burner arrived today and I can't wait to get it in the shop.
Thanks for the great service". - Neil Oakes, MeatcleaverDesigns.com, Grawn, MI
"Nedra, Thank you SO very much for all your help and patience...I can't
wait to get it and begin to learn. I appreciate everything you've done for
me...if I ever run into anyone who wants to buy any woodburning or carving
things...I'll send them to you - A. Mareno, Warrenton, VA
"
Nedra, Aside from perhaps the best
customer service I have ever seen from an online shop, you offer (and
deliver) fast, well packaged shipping and a quality product! I was looking
for the perfect burner - and not being able to sit and try them all out, I
looked through your site and found a virtual fountain of information -
from details on the care and feeding of a burner, to detailed instructions
on how to create works of art... your patience and attention to detail
shows through ~ and your obvious desire to provide service to your
customers. I would not hesitate to purchase more items from your site - my
order was processed immediately and at my door in TWO (2) short days. I am
really enjoying learning to use the Razertip that I bought ~ and am
learning a lot from your books that came with my set. Thanks for all
the help you provide!!!! - K. Werner, Stockton, CA
"It's
always nice to know that great customer service is alive and well! As some
of you may know I've been shopping for a woodburning system for a while
and had narrowed my choices down to the Razertip or Burnmaster. I came
across a website to an family owned business in Washington state that is
managed by a professional pyrographer who also happens to sell both these
units. The owner was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me
select the right burner for my particular needs. She also worked with me
through a last minute order change on my part and went out of her way to
make sure I got what I wanted. Kudos to
Nedra's Pyrography & Sawdust Collection!
I highly recommend them if you are in the market for a good burning
system! Good prices, great service, and some extra touches (such as better
cords, etc) than you'll get from Treeline or the other usual suspects"

"I was surprised at the very
prompt delivery. I had ordered some other gourd products from
another company at least a week before I submitted my order to you.
Your order came several days before the other order did. I don't
know how you do it considering your residential "confinement" (we were in
the middle of our big move to New Mexico and living in our motor home at
the time). By the way, I REALLY like the Razertip burner and pens
and I'm certain I'll find a need for a few more pens before too long.
Your book is by far the most definitive help I've used. It helps so
much to have your truthful opinions on the products". Sincerely, D.
Purinton, Linn Creek, MO (August, 2007)
"First, I got you - Nedra - on the phone. How about that for public
relations!? Then you took time out to find out what type of work I did
and suggested #HD5MSP medium small bent spear shader (since I like to work
with fine detail). But I couldn't help but think, will it stand up to my
expectations? I thought of the most detailed design I could think of, and
when the pen arrived I put it to work.
WOW! Was I blown away! It fit so nice in my hand and quickly I noticed
how there is no such thing as hard to reach places. Amazing! Plus, you
can shade with it! This pen is perfect and everyone should have one. I
found the only limitations left are those in my imagination -- but I'm
working on that.
You turned me from just being a fan to a faithful customer". Happily, A.
Hernandez, Wichita, KS (Sept, 2007)
