Sound the trumpets!!!  I believe he is complete.  Once the customer gives the final okay he will be on his final journey home.

With each project comes it’s own unique trials and tribulations.  Each project is a learning experience.  This piece has been no exception.   Brandon is a perfectionist and his number one priority is to make his customers happy and we hope that the customer is very pleased with the results.

Many projects have been waiting in the wings.  There are new designs waiting to be completed.  There are so many ideas……so little time.  Having a demanding day job and having a family that likes having you around :-) puts a lot of demands on Brandon’s time.

I do know that it is a priority to make some much needed improvements to the workshop so it is comfortable at any temperature!    When it’s stinkin’ cold outside the workshop  just won’t heat up enough and you cannot carve with numb hands!  Then when it’s too hot (not like that happens too much in Ohio) it’s pretty miserable.  Improvements need to be made.  This too will take time but it needs to be done!

It’s all just more to look forward to ;-)

New Project

   Posted by: admin    in Commission Nutcracker, Wood Carving

Brandon is currently working on a new commission nutcracker.  The project is in the design phase now.  Brandon is sculpting a clay model first, working toward the final design to be carved.   This nutcracker is going to be of a mountain climber.  Here are some pictures of the clay model as it is now….

Each project is a learning experience as we are learning a little bit about climbing and it’s equipment and gear.  It is very interesting.  The gentleman he is creating it for is a climber and has sent some pictures of his own adventures for reference and they are amazing.  It is an awe inspiring sport.
