Metal and Wood Centerpiece
I didn’t know what to call this really. Saw something similar on pinterest and thought…I would like to have one of those and it could be fun to make.

Building a Couple Of Urns
Friends of ours asked if Jim would build them two urns. Unusual request…but an honor really. Always up for a challenge we agreed to give it a go.

Two More NS Flag Maps
When we finished up our previous map making projects of NS and PEI, I told you we had two more to make. So this is how that went down.

Wood Maps…Lots Of Them
Earlier on in the spring, we received a request for two large maps. One of Nova Scotia and one of Prince Edward Island. This past week we got to work.

Who likes stacking firewood?
We do! It’s great exercise. Outdoors in the fresh air on a cool day with a bit of a breeze, which is almost every day between September and April.

Reading the moisture content
All is not what it seems when it comes to measuring the moisture content in firewood. A live tree such as birch hardwood that is cut fresh off the stump, (aka ‘green’) then split and stacked, should have a very high moisture content.

Prince Edward Island Map
We are going to be cutting it close on this map, no pun intended, it may be a late Christmas present for someone. You just can’t rush the perfection that is a wooden map. Ha.

Large NS Map With Painted Lighthouse
Got a request from clear across the country in Calgary for one of our wooden Nova Scotia maps. The one he chose was the New Nova Scotia Wood Map with a lighthouse scene painted on the map, except larger. If I recall, Jim said it was to be a Christmas present for his wife who is from Nova Scotia. Glad to help, and time to get to work. Christmas is coming!!

Signs For Our Firewood Delivery Truck
We’ve been delivering firewood for a few years now, upgrading our equipment as we go along. We did buy a larger truck and were delivering three cords at a time but found out we were over weight…darn it… so it could really only take two cords at a time.

Cantilevered Plant Stand
This was a quick and fun project that I can now cancel off the ol’ to-do list. I’ve seen them called cantilevered stand or anti-gravity stand. What ever you call it, I have one now. I’ve seen them hold a fish bowl with water so should be strong enough for a small plant.
