Why are Java Wood Trees so expensive?
Any one have a DIY option idea?

Henpecked is right about shipping.....depending on the ultimate size of the largest branch in a shipping box, lets say it is 4'x4'x4,' that size box should be able to handle 300-400 pounds, but with all of the empty space, it may weigh out at 200 pounds...then, because of the light weight, they may only be able to stack two of these boxes on top of each other, limiting cargo space by 1/2, so the freight charges are based on weight for space used, causing premium freight charges.....java branches come from old coffee trees.
Why not look at manzanita, it's hard & comes from the Southwest US & is cheaper.....
Whenever you have slippery, wood perches, get a sheet of 60 grit sandpaper ($0.40 - $1.00) & rough up the surface...problem solved.....
