Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

In Canada, we are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend. We have so much to be thankful for! Our immediate family is close, playing and working together each day. We enjoy good health, live in a beautiful place and enjoy a great climate. In the shop, we have an awesome crew who happily do wonderfully creative work, thanks to appreciative customers near and far. Life is good!

Wiring a clock

The lathwork on the Hickory Dickory is nearing completion. This kind of project is tricky on account of all the small corners and levels. As always, tying on the lath is a team effort and takes a few days between other projects. Matt did the bulk of this job but was called away to do some other task, and Jay jumped on when he finished painting for the day. Since the weather was so fine for the middle of October, we pulled it out in the sunshine. The shop is quiet through the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. Next Tuesday we’ll be back at it to ready the feature for the sculpted concrete and beautiful woodgrains that will happen around the end of next week. Stay tuned…

Almost ready to race

Jay continued to work his magic on the two brooms today. The red broom now sports its subtle glazes, and the blue one has the base colours applied. The supports are primed and ready for their final coat. By the end of next week, they should be ready to be installed in front of Witchy Boo at 1881 in Chilliwack. Stay tuned…
