I picked up these old cabinets last week and re-worked them into new cabinets - here's some before and after photos.
"HANDS ON: ALIENS IN THE ATTIC. Wacky, fun, iconoclastic--these are the hallmarks of a folk artist, and P.E.I. Native Kerras Jeffery has them in spades". NATIONAL POST Jan/2011
This blog shows the folkart I make, my reproduction furniture and other projects. My studio/shop is in my backyard. It's a couple of miles off the main road in West Prince County, Prince Edward Island, Canada. When you come to visit make sure you see – the "Olde Times" Garden House Museum; Grandma's Attic; the Furniture Box; Grampa's Loft (antiques, old doors, etc. in my Dad’s old barn loft); and my World's Largest Egg Beater, certified by Guinness World Records.

Bowling Pin Coffee Table
My daughter was up over the weekend and dug these bowlin' pins out of my
shop - she asked me if I could make a coffee table out of it. Here it is - am going to deliver it to
her on the weekend.
Tuna
I've made these tuna before and thought I'd make a couple more. I had a rake and used it for a tail; the top fin is a piece of antique moose antler; the bottom fins are oxen shoes; and the body is a cedar log that I've had drying for two years in my solar kiln.
The tuna are hanging in my Museum building right now.

Hoss and his horse
I just finished this piece today. On the bottom I have written, "I wish HOSS
would lose some weight my back is killing me."
It is carved out of wood; the rim of Hoss' hat is part of a license plate; the legs are made from dowels; and the horses tail is made from a dinner fork.
