My latest project. This was the response to my wife’s request for a “salt pig” (aka salt cellar). It’s an ash bowl with a walnut lid and a birch scoop. I think I will be adding these to my collection for my Christmas markets this year.

It’s Market Day! Come out to the New Iceland Farmer’s Market, in Gimli, today and check out my wares. It should be a beautiful day today, sunny and reasonable temperatures.

See you at the market.

Papa’s been in production mode for a while, getting ready for another craft sale, in Gimli on Saturday, 1 Aug. I also have3 puzzle easels under construction for the show.

The bowl is my first attempt at using epoxy in a bowl. This is a Black Cherry bowl with epoxy in the bottom and side of the bowl.

The rustic mushrooms are made from a Saskatoon berry tree. The smooth mushrooms are a mixture of Elm and Box Elder(Manitoba Maple).

If you’re in Gimli next Saturday stop into the New Iceland Farmer’s Market, on Seventh Ave, and check out all the great booths.

See you there.

A few more items for Saturday’s sale. Pray For good weather in Gimli. Fingers crossed that the rain holds off.

The vases are 8.25 x 5.5 inches and 10 x 5 inches. The shorter one is made of Walnut and Baltic Birch Plywood, while the taller one is Sapele and Baltic Birch. The taller one is also a new design. What do you think of this one?

Both vases are for sale for $150.00 each + shipping. DM me if you want to purchase either, or both, of them.

HELP! I was asked yet again on the weekend if I had a website. I have been toying with the idea of setting one up for a while, but have no idea where to start, or if it is even worth doing.

Does anyone have suggestions about how to approach this issue. I am looking for help in the Winnipeg area.

Please DM me if you have any suggestions.
