I told a friend about The Copper Star and she loved them and bought two!! I still want to get another to put on my shed. Thanks so much, Burt!" - Jan T. from East Peoria, IL ____________ "My mother just loves her star, and I received mine yesterday--the antique finish is just beautiful.

Thanks." - Julie S. from PA ____________ "We received the copper star on Friday last week. I bought it for my husbands birthday June 22nd but I couldn't wait that long to see the star so I had him open it Saturday. It is gorgeous and the quality is of the very best! It is hanging on the peak of the garage and looks very elegant. Thank you for sending the star so promptly and for the fine craftsmanship." - Lois S. from Michigan ____________ "Got the star. Looks great over the fireplace. Love it." - Jacquie B. from Virginia ____________ "I cannot say enough about my GIANT (72") star. We hung it over the fireplace in our livingroom. We also, hung our slightly smaller star in the family room." - Ginny M. from Florida ____________ "The star arrived safe and sound last week and I put it up on Saturday. The quality is just outstanding and I have to say my expectations were exceeded. The assembly directions were great (including the ones for the lighting kit) and made everything very clear and easy. Thanks again, it has been a pleasure." - David W. from Texas ____________ "I just received my beautiful star! Your packaging was just great and the delivery was incredibly fast." - Martha D. from New Jersey ____________ "I recently purchased a 24" barn red copper star from your company. The purchase was for an anniversary gift to my wife who had expressed her desire for this item for her anniversary. First, I was somewhat hesitant about her request. A metal star, and for her anniversary.....?! I was somewhat surprised that I received four emails concerning this purchase after my order. Three were from The Copper Star acknowledging the receipt of my order and the processing of my order. The fourth was from UPS announcing that my order would arrive no latter than the 19th. Guess what was on my doorstep today, the 19th of August! I found the attention given about my order to be the highest level of customer service that I have experienced within my memory. And to top it off...my wife loves the star!!! You will soon be receiving another order for another star because my wife now wants a larger one. Thank you! Continue the great work with your customer service, and most especially in the quality of your product! " - Rick C. from Citrus Heights, California ____________ "It's taken me awhile to mount the star I purchased last year; we had to build the room first! But I knew the minute I saw your stars I wanted one to look out over my family room. Thank you for such quality work. It's the correct porportion, and that, I think is important with your stars. I see that you are building bigger stars than when I purchased mine, but that's okay there's a size for everyone! I have sent your website to all family and friends, so hope you will get the business you deserve." Thanks so much - Judy S. from Santa Rosa, California ____________ "I received my star and put it in it's place of honor on my fireplace. It looks stunning. Thank you so much for such a beautiful piece of art. I did a little shopping around before I bought your star, and you weren't kidding when you said you can't compare your stars to the "cheap tin" ones. What an understatement!" - Leigh T. from Lititz, Pennsylvania ____________ "I love my star and have it in my kitchen." - Lori K. from Merritt Island, Florida ____________ "I just love the star that I got from you. The size and color are just perfect" - Laura L. from Vernon, Connecticut ____________ "Thank you for the beautiful 48" antique copper star! We could not be happier with the star and how quickly we received it. You obviously take great pride in your work, the directions were superb and the quality of the star can not be matched. You were so helpful with our order and took time out of your evening to help us get the perfect size. We can't wait to show it off." Thanks so much for your professionalism - Jen M. from McHenry, Illinois ____________ "Here is a picture of the copper star from our horse riding arena. We absolutely love it and with the light kit, it looks so neat at night! Thanks again for all your friendly customer service while I was deciding on just the perfect star! I will be ordering some holiday gifts here soon!" Thanks again, - Tricia S. from Bellbrook, Ohio ____________ "The stars fit my needs PERFECTLY!!! I am so pleased!" Thank you very much, - Kelly W. from Tatum, Texas ____________ "I wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for all your help and kindness. You answered every email promptly and gave me useful information. You were also very gracious by allowing me to exchange my star for a larger size." Thank you for everything, - Jen Martin from McHenry, Illinois ____________ "I hung my 30 inch star in my foyer. We have a window above the front door and you can see thestar from outside. I love it. I already gave your web site to several friends." Thanks, - Eileen D. from Massapequa, New York ____________ "We love it!" - Kassie C. from Cedar Park, Texas ____________ "Thanks Burt for the Star , it is just what I had in mind and I love it." - Carla E. from Urbandale, Iowa ____________ "Thanks for the barn star that arrived today; that was a nice surprise. It is already assembled, and will live indoors - over the fireplace mantle. Wish I could have afforded an even larger star...it is very beautiful! Your instructions were great! Thanks for including pictures with the instructions; that helped to make the directions clearer. Actually, husband and I fought over who was going to get to put it together; I ordered the star, so I won!" Thanks again for my star! - Renee S. from York, South Carolina ____________ "I just received the new star I requested from you - thank you, it's really perfect. Thank you for all your help with the purchase of my star(s); I'm looking forward to seeing how much my husband will like his." Take care and happy holidays, - Beth H. from Peachtree City, Georgia ____________ "I am emailing to say how pleased I am with my star. It is truly beautiful and was everything I expected it to be. I am going to order two more but I have yet to conclude on which size would be best. I look forward to placing the order and to continue doing business with your company. Pottery Barn is now offering stars in their catalog and as a former manager of one of their shops, I know the quality the product will lack. Thank you for producing these pieces of art and all the best to you and yours this holiday season." Cordially - Darcie ____________ "We want to thank you for making the 36" copper Star of Bethlehem and shipping it to us on such short notice. We used the star in the Christmas program at Church and it was perfect. Lots of positive comments! I'll see if we can find a picture to send to you. Thanks again and have a Happy Holiday!" Cordially, - Jim P. from Phoenix, Arizona ____________ "The three stars arrived today, very well packaged. I've only opened one of the small ones so far, but it is constructed very well, and the finish is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm certainly not surprised at the quality of your workmanship. I may yet have to order a larger one..." Take care, and have a very Merry Christmas! - Vince M. from Bosie, Idaho ____________ "Thank you so much! The only thing my mother wanted for Christmas was a star…….and the only place I could find one was the Pottery Barn. When I called to order it they were sold out. I had resigned myself to buying something else for her when I found your website. I can’t wait to give it to her……I know I’m getting a far superior product than I would have gotten from the Pottery Barn for the same price." Happy Holidays and thank you for shipping so quickly!!!!!!! - Noel C. from Princeton, New Jersey ____________ "I did in fact receive my star yesterday as promised...it's absolutely beautiful! I know my Mother will be so pleased with it, and I'm DEFINITELY asking for one myself!" - Noel C. from Princeton, New Jersey ____________ "Absolutely fabulous. It went together so fast, that I had to double check the directions to see if I had missed anything." Thanks for a product so well done and good looking. - Loraine W. from North Grafton, Massachusetts ____________ "I received my star....I LOVE it!" Thanks, - Amy C. from London, Ohio ____________ "I just wanted you to see how great your Copper Stars look on and in our home. I love them! All our guest comment on then too. Thank-you for your impecable workmanship. Hope your business and your, have a blessed New Year --" Sincerely, - Candy L. from Williamstown, Kentucky ____________ "Just received my barn star yesterday. I love, love, love it!!! It looks so great on my wall. I put it on my dining room wall. The wall itself is old barnwood torn down from your area. We have had it up for years and never quite found anything that would show if off and the star did. Thanks so much Burt you do beautiful work." Sincerely, - Janet U. from Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania ____________ "I can't thank you enough for great job you did on my Texas Star. If you remember, we started talking about this before Christmas. I told you what I had in mind and you created a beautiful work of art! I recieved both of my stars in just a few days of placing the order. My daughter-in-law was thrilled with hers. It looks terrific in her livingroom. I had no trouble attaching the rope to my star. Alot of the comments that I get are...."how different" or "I love the rope look". Thanks for creating my Texas Star. I love it !!" Always, - Barbara B. from Vandergrift, PA ____________ "Hi Burt, the clock really looks great! Thanks for all your service! You've been great." - Mick W. from Superstition Mountain, Arizona ____________ "Burt, I received my 40" clock and it looks beautiful over the fireplace. I just love it!" Cheers, - Gail H. from Whitney, Texas ____________ "Burt, the clock looks great and the scale is awesome for our great room." Best, - Chuck S. from Ipswich, Massachusetts ____________ "Dear Burt, Here is a phot of the installed clock. We love the workmanship!" Regards, - Steve P. from Forest, Virginia ____________ "I received my new barn star this afternoon and wanted to thank you for the wonderful workmanship. It is just beautiful and exactly what I was searching for." Best Regards, - Anissa D. from Montpelier, Virginia ____________ "When we ordered, then received, our gorgeous clock, we were in the midst of a move from Florida to Washington State. I was surprised by how quickly our order was fulfilled. We expected a much longer wait but the clock was here in WA waiting for us. We are finally getting settled into our new home and our clock was the very first thing to be hung on our walls (actually put up before any of furniture arrived), in its place of honor above our fireplace. Besides family and friends helping us move in, a few new neighbors have stopped by and not one person has been able to resist commenting about our "cool clock". It is truly beautiful and the scale of it is perfect. As soon as I get a chance to send a picture, I will do so. Thank you again for our work of art." Kindest Regards, - Jerome & Susan Clutter from Arlington, Washington ____________ "I am fulfilling one of my life's ambitions by designing and building my retirement home in the north woods of Wisconsin . I spotted your clock while watching HGTV's Dream House 2005. I instantly knew that your clock would be prefect above my fireplace mantel. After many attempts I found your website and ordered a three foot in diameter clock. The quality of the workmanship of the clock is outstanding." Wow, what a piece of art. Please convey to your staff that they have one happy customer. - Buzz McKowen from Shakopee, Minnesota ____________ "Hi Burt! Thanks for the speedy delivery of the wall clock. We love it and are hanging it above our fireplace in our outdoor room." Thanks, - Amy Alcorn from Seattle, Washington ____________ "Your star is a hit at the real estate office where I installed it last week. I'll try to get a picture off to you in the next couple of weeks. The assembly instructions were incredibly thorough and I had not trouble getting it put together. Knowing that you designed things for NASA prior to this, made me feel as though I was putting together something really important!!! The clients called the look "High Tech Hill Country" much because of your star. So, thank you so much for your patience with all my questions and your proactive response to my order. I'll hope to have another opportunity to install more of your stars on another job." Have a great summer and thanks, again. - Judy French from Austin, Texas ____________ "Hey there Burt, I LOVE THE BETHLEHEM STAR!!!" Thanks again, - Kelly Woods from Tatum, Texas ____________ "Just a quick note to thank Burt for his beautiful craftmanship! My wife & I ordered a 36 inch Copper Barn Star one morning & it arrived on our doorstep that next afternoon. Needless to say, your directions were very helpful & much appreciated with 9 months old twins at home. We were able to assemble it in minutes. Not only are we happy with how quickly our order arrived, but the labeled directions were great. We have recently completed our outside Spring cleanup so this Barn Star will definitely put the final touch on our beautiful house. We will be admiring your work for years to come! Thanks again!" Shine on, - Dave & Ann Naar fromMilton, Delaware ____________ "Hello, My star just came in the mail today. I had planned to put it outside on my garage but it is so lovely that i will put it in my living room for all to see. What a great job Burt !!!" Thank's so much, - Liz from New Jersey ____________ "Burt, My star came today. I can't believe the speed of the whole purchasing process. I ordered my star on Friday and had it on Tuesday. I had it together in less then 10 minutes. It truly is beautiful. To tell you the truth, I wanted to get the 24" star rather than the 30" because I thought the rivets that you put on the smaller stars would be stronger than the thumb screws you provide for the larger stars. Boy was I wrong! I'm so glad I decided to get the larger one because it is as sturdy and solid as could be. The pieces fit together so perfectly. My wife cannot wait until I mount it on my chimney. I'm sure once her friends see it you will get additional sales out of them seeing how beautiful her's is. Who knows, we might just want another one ourselves!" Thanks, - Tom from PA ____________ "Wanted to thank you again for being so gracious about exchanging the star for us. Jerry got it up this weekend and it looks absolutely awesome!" Thanks again, - Letha & Jerry Hunnicutt from Banner Elk, North Carolina ____________ "I just received my 36 inch copper barn star . It is beautiful and a breeze to assemble. Wish I had of ordered a 48 inch instead , as I love it that much . I could not wait to hang it, I will get a 48 inch at a later date . Thanks a million for the beautiful star, I wanted one for a long time. " - Millie L. from Nova Scotia Canada ____________ "I love my star!" Thanks you, - Melissa from Clarkston, Michigan ____________ "Received my star last night. Looks perfect." Thanks so much, - Dana Young from from Amarillo, Texas ____________ "The star was delivered this morning. Just what I wanted." Thanks, - Donald H. from Salt Lake City, Utah ____________ "Dear Mr. Squires, Armido and I love our star. It was exactly what we were looking for. It is hanging over our fireplace. It is beautiful. Thank you for being so helpful and kind. A great product. I feel will be enjoyed by our family long after we're gone." - Linda and Armido from Texas City ,Texas ____________ "Oh my gosh Burt!!!!! I absolutely LOVE Rusty!!!!! My husband just pulled him out of the box for me and he is soooooooooooooooooooo ADORABLE!!!!!!! He will definitely have an honored spot in my backyard so I can see him everyday. I can't thank you enough for taking on this project so he would be available to all of us who loved him at the new Dream House!!!! You are truly the best Burt!!!!!

Just Ask! We can do just about anything. Tin Stars Rust! Copper Stars DO NOT! Before you decide to purchase a cheap tin star, please take a look around town at other installations. In almost every case, you will see rust stains coming down from the two lower points of tin stars. This is why I decided to make my stars out of copper. The entire country is being over-run by cheap foreign craft imports. Why not spend a little more and get something that will last a lifetime---and not damage your structure in the process? All of my copper stars are made by me and are of the highest quality. I use very heavy duty 22 gauge copper (weighing 1.25 pounds per square foot) which is much heavier than what even the tin stars are made from. As always, all stars and clocks are signed by the artist (me)! QUALITY and PRIDE combine here to make the very best that money can buy! Thank you for the time you have spent here today!
