Blue Oar Woodworking

During this whole isolation thing, TylerandJamie Giesbrecht and Josh and I have been working our butts off. Between us two couples, we have 9 children (all under the age of 11 and all being homeschooled), a whole farmload of animals, husbands working nearly full time still, we're still working part time and we're still trying to keep our homes somewhat clean. But we had an idea that we just couldn't ignore. We knew our passion for growing food, foraging, hunting and raising ...farm animals had the potential to benefit so many people right now. So we decided to write a book. We worked until way too late, let our homes become absolutely chaotic for a few hours while we wrote or edited, got up too early and simply pushed ourselves to do more. And now after all that work, we are absolutely delighted to let you know our book, "Backyard Food Security for the Common Person" is now available as a PAPERBACK AND EBOOK! We decided to get the book printed in black and white, which was somewhat heartbreaking, but doing this allowed us to sell the book to you at a great price (printing in colour costs TRIPLE the amount of black and white). We decided it was more important to make this book easily available to you no matter what your budget. So go take a look and if you grab it, be sure to leave a review on Amazon for us! https://www.amazon.ca/dp/199901023X/ref=sr_1_2 PS I am going to try and get a large print version available within the next week! So just wait a little longer if you prefer large print

So, Josh just finished this beautiful project. There is currently no room in our entryway for something like this or else he would be making a second one right now. In answer to your question, yes, I am envious of the customer who got this.

We are so grateful for the work we have! Even with the economy in such a weird place and the isolation restrictions, we have had enough work to keep putting food on our table. Because Josh works alone in his shop, he has been able to keep working (for the most part) without interruption and we have been absolutely blown away that work is still coming in. We are so grateful to all the people like you who choose to support local families - you are a blessing! Thank you!

Josh was presented with an odd kitchen nook and created this AMAZING storage unit. I may have made him do similar things (... maybe a lot) at our house so he is getting good practice at making all kinds of spaces useful :p
