I am a bit confused what stumpcrafters is after going to the website.

There is some sort of game...and you sell these pieces of wood for the game?

This page explanes it the best.

TLDR; The Stump Game is played with a Stump, nails, and a hammer. Win by being the last nail above the face of the stump.

They play a similar drinking game in ski bars in Austria - you each get 3 swings of the hammer, before passing the hammer on. Last nail left buys a round. Except you have to hit the nails in with the other end of the hammer, the part for pulling out the nails.

I'm not kidding, in the middle of bars they have a big ol' tree stump full of nails

Shipping is part of the problem and but similar games such as cornhole cost $150-$350.
This is great. My friends and I played a similar game we called hammerschlaggen -- except instead of a hammer we used the sharp end of an axe and a real stump!
My stumps are a platform for your nails and you can play any game you like or make up your own.
