Staff Sergent Josh Smith contacted me with an idea to do this street sign for Oaklynn Schweder, the little, autistic, 6 year old girl, who went missing for 3 days and was miraculously found in great shape. The sign is a birthday gift from the Burns lake RCMP detachment.The street name where the Skin Tyee Band office is located has been named to "Oaklynn Drive" in her honor, as she was located behind the Band office forest. Our family thanks God for her safety and wishes her a happy 7th birthday on September 30th.

Invested in a pretty good laser unit. I can do up to 35"x17". I wanted to be able to add some quick creations to my inventory line up but after watching loads of video ...I am now aware how how much one of these can really do. I will be able to do tile, glass, metal, plastic, slate, and many other medium as well as wood.
This rooster is a gift to my wife... as it will more than likely be part of a epoxied cord wood counter with a few designs integrated.

A sign I just completed for the Stellat'en first nation admin office. It encorporates the spirit animals of the clans of the band. I tried to give the 4 separate images flow while keeping each image a pice to itself.

The fellow in the photo is a awesome guy named Peter Luggi. He has been the guy that got me to do all the carving I have done over the last 9 months for Stellat'en first nation. Here he stands with a Lynx drinking from a poo he commissioned. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Peter and to all the fine folks of your community.

Signage done for Tech North in burns lake. Their moto is "navigating the rough waters of internet security" so we went with a ancient map scroll theme. The lighthouse, ships wheel and compass rose represent security and guidance and the sea monster, and harpy/mermaid represent the dangers. The name plate is protruding and was ment to look like a ships name plate like the ones found on the back of old vessels. This 67 square foot sign is soli cedar and finish with Sico prolux. It took a lot of hours. My youngest son worked with me on it and removed half of the wood he is quickly becoming a accomplished shapper.
