DIY Birch Candle Holders and Mini Trees

DIY Door Hanger
If a project calls for wood and paint, I’m in. Could do it all day every day. I call this a door hanger but it can also hang on the wall and will from time to time.

Horse Stall Sign

Alberta and Nova Scotia Maps
There are a lot of Nova Scotians working and living in Alberta. One such family contacted us to make them two maps, one for each province. This is our first time cutting out a map of Alberta.

DIY Rope Basket
I did it!! I made my own basket. That’s what you have to do if you can’t find what you want… when you want it. And I would do it again and just might.

Wood Map Flag Design

New Nova Scotia Wood Map
We have been seeing a spike in inquiries regarding our wood maps of Nova Scotia from right here at home as well as across Canada. We attribute it to the recent events in our province and the outpouring of love for Nova Scotia that has followed.

Painting a Wooden Buoy
One of Jims saw milling buddies makes wooden buoys and on a visit last year he brought one for me. Not long after, I decided it needed some paint, so out came the paint brushes and here it was after my first round of painting.

New Wood Map
Before I show you how we made this map, any guesses where it is? I’ll give you a hint. It’s on the east coast of the US.
