“Summer Lights” Show Open!

Posted on July 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

We’ve just gotten back from installing our huge, 8-foot-tall Squiddy Guards at Salt Spring Wood Works Gallery’s beautiful location on Salt Spring Island. We even managed to find a tree for the Squiddy Guard Bench to encircle!

The Wood Works Gallery can be found at 125 Churchill Road on Salt Spring Island.

SUMMER LIGHTS

July, August, September
Sun-Thurs 10am – 5pm

NIGHT GALLERY
Friday / Saturday night
9 – midnight

A tall white Squiddy Guard stands at the entrance to the show, ready to light the way come nightfall.

It's amazing how much more light the white Squiddy casts than the black one!

Squiddy Bench

These tall squiddies were made using 2×4’s of pine run through a bandsaw. We highlighted the texture using thick black pencil crayon, or blue or white for the Bench Guard and Black Guard, respectively.

We bolted them together before sawing them down - best to make sure they'll stand up first!

Our friends over at Salt Spring Woodworks have made Judson their feature artist for their Spring 2010 show, What Next? on Salt Spring Island!
The SSW gallery is open Thursday to Sunday 10 – 5 or by appointment. Visit their Blog for more information!

Pieces will include some of his Pine Beetle creations as well as the Little Black Dresser.

The "rocks" on the front of this cabinet are actually all made of the Mountain Pine Beetlel Wood! Some are set slightly out to be used as handles.

Little Black Dresser, seen here mounted via chrome clothing rod, this piece is also available with its own hanger.

North Vancouver Public Library: Reading Tree

Posted on March 16, 2010 | 3 comments

A project that we have been working on for quite some time has just seen the last of us, and the North Vancouver Public Library now has a new reading tree! We completed a series of wall murals for this Library about a year ago and are glad to have been able to add this final element, which can be opened up and used for storage as well as decoration. Jud and Kyle install the final bushy bits below.

This tree has been quite the undertaking as far as construction goes. We did the fiber-glassing ourselves but it’s been in and out of our shop multiple times for painting and finishing… both for the bark and the “housey” elements. Just for fun, here are a few shots of this thing in the works.
