 From : “The Farmer Boy” by Mrs. A.R. Foxy

“While the green isles seem In the soft light to beam As though by some witching spell riven
Their fragrant flowers
And wine wove bowers
Bloomed fresh from a dream visioned Heaven
The graceful elm trees Unstirred by the breeze Drooping hang o er the peaceful stream
And their mirror d forms In their heighten d charms From the depth of the waters gleam
When I gaze above Where the planets move
Sits Night with her jewels crown d
While the stars below Mysterious glow
And circling Heaven is around
Then I make once more For the pebbly shore 
Sure the sweet joys of home to find
And at each oar’s dip
The bright sparkles drip
And the ripples run far behind

We Have Over 30 Years of Experience In The Wood Working Industry

Having been in the residential remodelling business for most of my career has given me an insight as to how to arrange many shapes together to blend into usable objects , indoors or outdoors. Curved benches , work stations cut from arched branches , the possibilities are endless. The joy is working with the shape as presented by nature in the salvaged wood which may otherwise be destined for firewood.

Each piece is as unique as the tree it was taken from , with its own story . For instance the pine tables, taken from a very large White Pine tree that fell across a main road and filled the front yard of the opposite property in a storm, was approximately 100 years old , circa 1914.

The cherry tables were cut from a very large black cherry tree backing onto a railway corridor . It had a hollow section in the main fork that made it a danger to the owner so it was taken down. It also was quite large , approx 36″ at the base and at least 60′ tall.

This tree would have been cut up for firewood but saving it at the last moment left a sense of relief to me and my coworkers. Sometimes there is a reward in knowing that the smallest move to conserve our dwindling resources can have an impact on the planet.

As a Home Fashion, Retail and Corporate Decor Designer, I was looking for a creative way to cover a prominent and boring cinderblock wall on the outside of my garage facing the garden. Chester and I had discussed some oversize first cut bark slabs to create an airy mural. Chester lifted the mural away from the cinderblock with two horizontal 2 x 4’s and giant hook and eyes to minimize wall contact. He cut the lengths so as not to touch the mulch nor the eaves…
… By keeping it dry on all sides, with quick runoff of water, this would prevent the attraction of carpenter ants.  For the visual composition we took great care in lying the slabs on the lawn in an interactive rhythmic pattern and then hung them…
… A couple of years later the bark did lift away and I was able to remove it to expose the beautiful warm, rich swirls and knots of the wood slabs. The large bark pieces made it into the front yard as amazing decorative mulch under my 40 foot fir tree. Another conversation piece! …

 

 

 

… Daily I gaze at this four season nature’s art piece on my garage wall from my kitchen window. This is a wonderful conversation piece when we have visitors or entertain.

Thank you Chester!

Ans: A food grade oil such as tung oil or other natural or organic oil that soaks in and dries .
