Marine will be one of five Premier Sponsors of the new podcast by Nantucket Magazine called, Books, Beach, and Beyond featuring Elin Hilderbrand and Tim Ehrenberg.

Hitting the airwaves this summer, Elin and Tim will discuss topics ranging from what it’s like to take a book to the screen, to the intricacies and intimate details of an author’s writing process, to what it’s like to be a “book influencer” and everything in between. Episodes will feature special guests from bestselling and recognizable authors, to publishing industry insiders, and more, with Season 1 highlights including but not limited to Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kristin Hannah, Jenna Bush Hager, Ann Patchett and Colleen Hoover.

Season 1 will premiere on Wednesday, June 14, and the

10-episode season will run through mid-October 2023 with new episodes releasing every other Wednesday. As a Premier Sponsor, Marine will receive verbal recognition at the start and end of two episodes read by Elin. As well as a 30-second scripted ad in the middle of those episodes, followed by an unscripted conversation of Elin and Tim discussing their appreciation for Marine and our importance on Nantucket.

Books, Beach, and Beyond will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast streaming apps. This digital endeavor may introduce new customers to the Marine brand.

There’s Nothing Quite Like A Picnic

On Sunday, while driving around the island, I listened to an NPR program bemoaning the lost art of Victorian picnics with elaborately set tables and over-the-top courses of food. Full staff required! Not your pb&j variety picnic by a long shot!

I began to imagine a new spin on picnicking, Downton Abbey style – without the fuss. 

In the Hardware Department, I bumped into Ciara McAuley, Marine’s Digital Marketing expert who designs this newsletter.

I shared my idea for a lavish picnic, and she was all over it. “Have you seen the Sophisti paper plates and napkins that look like linen?” she bubbled. “Perfect for an upscale picnic!”

Marine is pleased to announce the addition of a new premium wood product for your exterior trim needs. We are now stocking ICON^TM thermally modified Primed Fir in 1 x 8.

Other dimensions will be available by special order only at this time.

The wood goes through a heat-treating process which changes the molecular structure of the wood. The modification process heats the wood to temperatures above 400 degrees in a kiln where air is evacuated, and then held at that temperature for hours. It is then cooled with steam which helps the wood dry evenly, keeping it from becoming brittle. This process cooks off the resins and sugars from the wood, making it rot, insect, and decay resistant without the use of chemicals. This process is new to the United States but has been used in Europe since the mid 90’s with great results.

You can find it in our Lumber Warehouse and the product is available from 8’ up to 20’ in length and is primed gray with square edges. Please stop by to take a look and let us quote your next project for you using this new environmentally friendly product!

Tool Accessories

The power tool is just the beginning. What work will it do? What accessories will it spin? In the case of drills and drivers, the selections are many. There was a time when drills were only used for boring holes, but now they’re called to run wire brushes and buffing wheels, to drive screws and nuts and bolts, (all of seemingly endless variety) and many other tasks.
