"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 changed from a daily blog to a blog to celebrate the folk art of Kerras Jeffery, as well as his reproduction furniture and other projects. His studio & shop closed in 2017 following his passing.

Jaunting Sleigh into a Coffee Table
I made this sled into a coffee table - I bought it from a fellow who delivered it to my shop on the roof of his car!
See the tag below noting it was made by J.S.Francis & Sons, Fortune Bridge, Prince Edward Island.

It's Tuna Season!
I have made these Tunas in the past - thought I'd make a few more.
They are made from cedar - for the tails I used a horse shoe and the other one I don't know what it is; the top fin is a large lobster claws and the side fins are oxen shoes.
There are many bluefin tuna being caught off the north shore of Prince Edward Island these days.
