Noah's Ark - Part 3

     I got two main coats of paint on the ark today and carved out 12 animals.  The last ark I made I carved 142 pieces - I hope to make as many for this one.

Noah's Ark - Part 2

     I finished building the ark today and got a coat of primer on it today...

 ...then started carving-out animals - lions, tigers and cheetah's.

Noah's Ark

     Just started a "Noah's Ark" today.   I did one about five years ago and thought I would make another one.
     Here's my first day at it - I should have it done in two weeks and will post as I go along with the Ark.

Stepback Cabinet

     I made this Stepback Cabinet for a client - they wanted it a full eight feet high. 

     I used old glass for the doors and have space for alot of dishes and plates.

His and Hers Wardrobe Cabinet

     The dresser in the middle is an old pine dresser. Then I added two wardrobe on each side of it.  It measures 80" across - this piece is built so you can break them up also.

Sofa Table made with iron cresting

     I had this old cast iron trim piece for a while and thought it would look good as a sofa table. 
     The iron piece (also known as "iron cresting") came from the Hennessey Cutcliffe Funeral Home, 35 Longworth Ave., Charlottetown - the house was built in 1876 for Premier Lemuel Owen and became a funeral home in the 1960s.  

 The table measures 36" high by 43" wide.

     Below is a photo showing the "iron cresting" trimming the verandah roof - it would have been originally on the tower roof and main roof.  The photo cf. http://www.city.charlottetown.pe.ca/searchaproperty.php?propid=2250

Adam & Eve

     Here's my latest folk art piece which I call, "Adam and Eve".

     For Eve's breasts I used are two sewing thimbles. 

The branches on the tree are antique caribou antlers and the rest is carved wood.  

The snake is a fork. 

     This piece is two feet wide.
