winebotlewelcomefriendsYwinedorotopwelcome2hi folks–just finished two new wine decor plaques that you can hang in your home. I think they would make good gifts for any of your friends that love wine! Like I do! One is a Welcome Friends plaque with two wine glasses toasting. I carved it in a circle so you can hang it by your font door. A nice toast to you friends!!

The other Wine plaque I finished is a doortopper. I think it will look good sitting above any doorway in your house–but especially nice if you have a wine cellar! I carved wine bottles, fruit–pineapple and apple, a fat loaf of bread and a wedge of cheese. I used a traditional shape–with the pineapple top just reaching out over the edge. We handpaint each one–and then apply a stain which shows all the detail of my carving. I hope you like this piece! Al

homecooking.jpgal5.jpgal1.jpgHi Folks!
I’d like to share my latest carving with you: Home cooking Served Here. I think it’s a fun piece to hang in your kitchen or restaurant (if you are a restaurant owner!). I designed it so we can add a chalk board to it and then you can use it as a message center to write reminders, important phone numbers or things to get done (pick up the dry cleaning!) You know the drill! If you’re a “Greenie” you help save a tree and eventually I will have an extra piece of wood to carve!

This piece is 22″ wide and 9 1/2″ high. with the chalkboard it measures 22″w and 32″ high.
Let us know what yo think! we’d like to hear from you!

Hi Folks! This is an important update on the new Golf/Cigar Smokers table!
Before we release it to the public, I thought I had better field test it–you never know what could go wrong!
The good news is that it works!
I lit a cigar, took a glass of wine to the patio and I lit up my stogie. (I also took a sip of wine.) I had Kay document the whole event! (see photo)
The cigar was great and the wine was pretty good too! I hope you all like the table. The only drawback is you have to clean out the sand trap after a couple of cigars! Enjoy! Al
p.s. Keep the cat out of the sand trap…

cigartable1.jpgGreetings Friends! I just finished making a table for Golfers and cigar smokers. I developed the idea with my friend Gary. This is what I did: I cut out a round table top–it’s about 16″ diameter. Then I carved a golf course scene–a hole, pin and a sand trap in the foreground. In the sand trap (we supply a little bag of sand) there are indentations to rest your cigar! Well, I am a cigar smoker (but not a golfer) so I will be enjoying this table out on my patio. We cover the top with epoxy so it is great as an outdoor table.

Here is a photo of it–I will take another photo this weekend of me using it.

Now I am working on a Menu board/chalkboard that says “Home Cooking Served Here” More about that later…Al
