The Hidden Struggles: Rising Supply Costs and the Fight to Stay Open

At BrAvEl WoodWorx, we have always prided ourselves on running our small business with low overhead, careful planning, and a lot of heart. We do everything we can to stay efficient, minimize waste, and keep our prices fair for our customers. But lately, like many small businesses across the globe, we’re feeling the pressure of something that's mostly out of our control: rising supply costs.

From wood and hardware to finishing materials, freight costs, and even basic shop necessities, everything has gone up — and in many cases, sharply. Every delivery, every invoice, every restock hits a little harder than the last. Even with all our efforts to operate lean, these increases add up fast.

So far, we’ve worked hard not to raise our prices. We know our customers appreciate value and trust us to deliver it. But behind the scenes, it's getting tougher to absorb those increases while maintaining the quality you expect from us. We want to keep creating handmade, personalized, high-quality products without compromise. That’s always been our mission, and we’re sticking to it.

Shopping small matters now more than ever.

When you choose to support a local business like ours, you’re helping real families stay afloat, pursue their passions, and keep contributing to your community. You're helping us continue to bring you the custom pieces, trophies, gifts, and signs that you love — made right here, with craftsmanship and care.

Thank you for continuing to shop local. Thank you for choosing handmade. And thank you for believing in small businesses.

We’re here because of you, and we’ll keep fighting to stay here for you.
