Nuclear Lily

This is the result of my creative outlet going out to the community! Dickinson County Trail Network Ogee Challenge trophies made from all reclaimed lumber from the U.P.!

From concept and design, to materials, to actual construction, this bar was a total team collaboration! It couldn’t have turned out any more beautiful!!! The front is an old freezer door, the sides and trim are salvaged cedar, and the top is aged rough-sawn pine and oak.

There are some days I am glad that I moved that old tarp.

Mother Nature’s wild winds blew down the materials needed to build this nice planter trellis for one of the many mini gardens at the VA Medical Center in Iron Mountain! I can’t wait to see what grows!

More layers!! This little number is the sister stool to the fireside foot stool that was posted a couple of weeks ago. Made of all reclaimed cedar from an abandoned hotel sauna and ready to enjoy a new life out at the lake!!

All the layers!! This little side table/footstool is ready for summer nights by the fire!

So much appreciation for some wonderful ladies who decided to spend their afternoon with me at The Lily! Knocked out a huge clean up project of a collapsed roof and finished demo on the soon-to-be wood shed!! I am beyond thankful that you all are into non-traditional work outs!!

It’s been a hot second since our last post so here’s an update on the next project at The Lily!

This little building is getting a makeover! Meet the soon-to-be lumber storage shed! But before it holds any materials we have to strip it to the bare bones... demolition time!

Another restoration project just waiting for someone’s organizational needs. 😉

Gathering can be a precarious process but nothing beats the morning sunshine coming through the cracks of an old barn!

This was just some more fun from this weekends haul.

This weekend we decided to see how much the truck could really carry!
