Concrete steed

The little horse that kids will sit on as they play cowperson, as they attempt to rope the Highland cow we will be sculpting tomorrow. Designed for little kids, the pony’s saddle isn’t too high off the ground. The exposed bottom portion of the frame will be buried in the ground with mulch up to the bottom of the hooves. We’ll let the freshly sculpted concrete cure until next week before we start on the paint. Stay tuned…

The horse and Highland cow armatures are now fully wired and ready for sculpting. The horse’s shoulder is about 42” tall. The lower portion of the frame will be buried in the sift ground cover to make it safe for children. Stay tuned for the cute little horse to appear…

Door fit for royalty

Detailing at the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn is continuing at a brisk pace in preparation for the grand opening, and things are looking great! Jay is doing the painting, starting with the inside panel of the door. The custom door and jamb were crafted locally by AJ’s Millwork. We then jigged the door onto our CNC router for basic routing, followed by hand carving to add details and finally some gentle sandblasting to enhance the beautiful woodgrains. The wood was then stained and varnished before installation. After the interior construction was finished, we turned Jay loose to make the door beautiful with colour befitting a medieval castle. As always, he knocked it out of the park! It is a handmade door fit for royalty!
