I don't know much about who's (native vs. exotic species) using them, but a
fella named Rod sells something similar at the Halifax Seaport Market as
well he has a website here: http://freespiritfarm.ca/

I very much like his products, most of which are produced using wood cut
from a hemlock woodlot he owns and maintains privately.

Cheers,
Chris Kennedy
