They're probably hand-carved by native villagers, using only free-range, organic components.

Maybe had to wait for more organic material to die, decompose and pressure to be applied so that the Carbon could be extracted from the earth..... not an overnight project ya know...

We order a lot of trailer parts out of the States and sometimes a shipment will get stuck at customs for four or five days, very frustrating if your paying extra for "overnight air"
