We love Cedar! Check out this coffee and end table set all finished up for their new home...oh a we just happened to do up a cedar live edge sign for ourselves at the same time! These old growth flared cedars are so beautiful to work with and we added steel hairpins to all in different heights. Thank you to @impactcoatings for doing the bronze powder coating on them for us! Hope everyone is having a great start to the week! #liveedge #cedar #customcoffeetable #customendtable #woodandsteel #hairpinlegs #customwoodworking #supportlocal #localbusiness #madebyhand #yegrenovations #stonyplain #grateful

A super fun time was had by all with the build of this walnut and translucent blue river table and bench paired with powder coated black custom steel bases. Collaboration always makes a project that much more exciting and we were thrilled to work again with Bruce @iron_elements_inc and Megan @source_collaborative to pull this one together! We did a 1 pour of dark Azure blue first and a the second layer of this through pour was a light mix of Azure and Caribbean in mostly cle...ar to make it look like water and still be able to see the live edges as the shoreline. What do you think? Thank you to the amazing clients who let us be creative with your forever table! #rivertable #liveedgetable #customtable #custombench #woodandmetal #resin #custommetalwork #collaboration #yegsmallbusiness #supportlocal #urbantrees #walnut #customwoodworking #grateful See more

Okay so now here’s a UNIQUE piece! When we work with woods like this it’s usually just for small accent details in a piece. This time however the whole piece is solid exotic. Guitar makers would be envious of the quality of the Brazilian Cocobola used for the legs. We found a solid 7x7 timber that would be illegal to get today but was purchased in 1999 and imported into Canada which was legal at that time. We had Eric @relic_woodworks split it into four for us on his mill... which broke a brand new carbide blade on the second cut! This stuff is dense and tough! The shelves are all Bubinga from Africa and have absolutely stunning grain patterns throughout. What do you think? It’s not for everybody maybe but I don’t think anyone can say it wouldn’t make a statement piece?! #customfurniture #customwoodworking #exoticwood #madebyhand #keepcraftalive #luxury #madeincanada #design #uniquefurniture #yegreno #stormbison #grateful See more

Did you catch Arin from Garry Builders Ltd on CBC Edmonton? Here are her top DIY projects to do at home and tips on how to accomplish them! #1 DIY job people t...ackle is PAINT Give yourself time to prepare walls properly. The quality of the end result has everything to do with the preparation Tools: Premixed Spackle and small trowel; good quality applicators appropriate for your job (brushes and rollers), trays, painters tape and drop sheets. And of course paint Primer and Eggshell finish for walls, Semi-gloss for trim. Steps: Clean surfaces, fill in dents, scratches nail holes and shrinkage with spackle let it dry and repeat if necessary. Remove and clean coverplates from plugs and switches. Move furniture, mask off or cover floors, ceilings, trim #2 Refresh Interior Wood Surfaces Small scratches on cabinetry, floors and furniture can be repaired to keep them looking their best too. There are great stain pens polishes and repair kits available that can match the wood finish. Even a small amount of oil from rubbing a walnut into scratches is all it takes to disguise some scratches. Oiled hardwood floors are popular right now and can also be touched up easily. #3 Maintain metal surfaces Metal on metal surfaces will benefit from silicone lubricant spray. If you are noticing sticking or squeaking door hinges, roller catches and sliding tracks. Powdered graphite works for keyholes (even rubbing your key with a pencil will have the same effect). #4 Maintain Outdoor Surfaces Our climate is very hard on outdoor surfaces. Even pressure treated wood decks are not no maintenance. They should be swept clean regularly and periodically given a deeper cleaning. Wash with a cleaner that will remove mildew, wait until dry and then apply your stain. This is a good time to check if any boards are damaged and should be replaced. Composite products should be washed but never pressure washed. We can extend the life and appearance of concrete surfaces such as garage floors and driveways by sealing them after they are fully cured: clean, dry and seal. This can be repeated every few years depending on the type of product used. #5 Water Management Check to be sure your sump is operational. If you have to unseal the lid be sure to re-seal with silicone. In the summer consider an extension to take water further away from the house. Visually inspect foundation walls from interior and exterior look for signs of water damage, swollen drywall, damp carpet. Also check that settlement has not created negative slope toward your foundation walls. Inspect eavestrough to be sure they are not plugged or leaking and downspouts are down and directing water away from house; Keep debris out of window wells #6 Mechanical Rooms Familiarize yourself with the appliances and maintenance, find and read your owners manuals Clean and change filters in your furnace, humidifier and HRV regularly Keep the area clean and vacuumed #7 Attics and Roofs If you aren’t comfortable hire professionals From a ladder check the attic access is insulated, has weather stripping and seals well Look for missing or damaged shingles on the roof and signs of significant moisture like depressions and staining #8 Windows and Doors: Check weatherstripping and door sweeps and replace if necessary, they may wear out or become damaged over time. Make sure there is no debris in the way of casement or sliding window

We had the absolute pleasure of building this 8 foot long floating Douglas Fir plinth for our client who collects art from around the world. We chose vertical grain Fir for this one. The soap stone bison and bear are happy they have a new home now! The piece is the middle is a rare slab of Japanese granite that the artist made into a very unique vase. We had a ton of fun learning more about art and getting to see the extensive collection throughout his home. Finished the deli...very morning by installing a local Poplar live edge counter in his wine cellar for him and he sent us home with 2 bottles of wine for the weekend! We are very grateful to be able to work with the amazing clients who continue to support us through these times.
