These waterproof/outdoor-safe hangers are good for wet towels or coats. They’re on wood from an 1800’s farm. The Barker family that built it tracks back to James Barker, one of the original signers of the 1663 Charter of Rhode Island. So it’s functional and historic. That’s what we call a two-fer!

Just finished a board on wood from a 1795 row house in Bristol, . It was one of a number of houses built by this “housewright” who was from a family of housewrights. It and more will be available at my next fair on Nov 21-22 in Warwick, or DM me.

Another board finished up. This 1800’s was in an area of Middletown, , that famous painters like John LaFarge used for inspiration. I’m happy with the but acknowledge they’d have done a tad bit better.

These cribbage boards on wood from an 1850 barn are drilled and painted by hand. The property tracks back to the Barker family. The original Barker in America was close to Roger Williams.

This oversized board is from a Plymouth store built in 1775. This wood was planed smooth and treated with butcher’s block oil so it’s food safe. And just in time for a unique Thanksgiving presentation. Enjoy the cheesy sale pitch.

This week’s ghost story as we continue October’s spooky series. Not only has this involved one of the former owners, but it’s happened repeatedly. And I’m not the only one to have interacted with her. Who else has a good one to share?

Finished a new batch of boards in advance of Thanksgiving and the holidays. The 1850’s barn these came from is on land that was occupied by the British during the Revolution. The father of the man who built the farm led a spy ring with his brother in response to the British using their property as a barracks and command center.

Occasionally putting down the tools and paint and stepping outside my barn to enjoy around here.
