Taxidermy Wall Mount Display, Green River Fishing and Fort Building

This week on Rocky Mountain Twist: Tim and Candy are starting another adventure of high excitement and thrills in the wood shop with the dust in flying and power tools whirring, creating taxidermy wall display pedestals.... Meanwhile Dylan and Scooter Hicks are building forts and braving the raging waters of the Green River in Browns Park Colorado. The excitement and drama will leave you biting your fingernails and wondering what they will come up with next.....

To recap: We will be creating and finishing 3 wall display pedestals for taxidermy, and also going to posting more photos of some of our completed projects that we have not yet shared with you

 

Dylan and Scooter built their own forts and since we worked through the holiday weekend, we did take an over night camping trip out to browns park.... It was 101 when we arrived but it wasn't too noticeable while we were fishing and swimming..... What a peaceful and fun way to take a break.....

As you can see Dylan and Scooter building their fort, it is of course made from our stack of plywood that we use to build crates to ship out our products. Scooter also converted our enclosed brown trailer, (which we use for curing our harvested wood), into her very own fort with table, chairs and shelving. How very blessed we are to be able to spend everyday with our kids, share in their creativity and not miss out on their growth

Curly Redwood Slab Tables with Burled Pine Bases

It always amazes me how fast time goes by and how busy we all seem to be. I always tell myself that I am going to keep up to day with this blog and post weekly. Haha well is seems like my intentions are good but finding the time has been crazy. Anyway, for reals this time, I will be posting projects weekly, I believe I finally have a system....

These three redwood curly slab tables were made together as a set. The original plan was to have one table that was 10' long, when we ordered the slabs fro Redwood Burl Company and they were getting ready to ship, our clients and us decided to build two tables that are 5' long.

The slabs arrived and sat in storage until we were able to start on the table project. When the time came we brainstormed some different ideas since our client gave us free creative design over the tables. We decided that it would be a great idea to make three tables, with the larger redwood table being the tallest and then making the smaller tables shorter.

Once we had the tables completed and set up, we were surprised at how well it all came together. This project was a complete joy to work on, I love being able to see how the wood comes to life with a little bit of patience and love.

Curly redwood is by far our most favorite grain of redwood slab to work with. The coloring and grain truly speaks for itself.
