Router Router Router....

In the never ending journey of productivity and creativity Kevin and the house are well entrenched in the building process…..

Early last morning before going to help a friend drywall and mud his garage ceiling, Kevin was out in the carport busy routing siding boards. He is using a raised door panel blade. 

The first round of boards is ready to be placed, and then the house wrap will go on.  The final siding layer has already been milled and awaiting the routing process.

As is our belief in re-purposing, the boards came from pine logs left to us by Ray Pounds Tree Service, a local company.

The Man Chair

The Man Chair - A Work In Progress

Sawmill fall off wood(bottom right insert) +plus+ well worn living room furniture =equals= New Man Chair!

And I do expect that there is a matching Love Seat next in line!

Kevin does upholstery work, hence the source for coils where the matching black seat cushion will rest. The black canvas came from a boat seat refinish project of summers past.

The stain wash is a secret mix of colors only of Kevin knows. The tones are layered then wiped clean to achieve this look.

At first sight I fell I love with the chair. The wood and black is extremely striking. Sleek, and I would have to say elegant.

We usually go for a more rustic look, but Kevin calls this the cowboy appeal. After a hard day riding the range, you want something to lean into and let go.

Growing up in the Mountains of Colorado on a ranch, he’s had many a day of tired muscles. Come to think of it, even though we have no animals, Kevin always puts in a full day. Dawn to Dusk. Some would say, myself at times, that he is a workaholic, but the way I see it, and I can relate to this as well, creativity must be expressed ~ continuously.

So here’s to creativity in motion on a daily basis!

Have a great Labor Day weekend! And you can bet where I’ll find Kevin: ~ AT THE SHOP!
