Working on Wellington

Just finishing up the last pieces for the Ojibway Art Show and have started serious work on completing the new pieces for the History in the Making Show, opening at the Wellington County Museum and Archives next month.



I have turned a platter from the section of beam that was removed from the upper part of the barn to make way for the mechanical hay delivery system that was installed.

Today we started to work on the old flooring from the Palmerston Library.  All the nails had to be pulled and then the wood cut as part of the process of preparing the wood for laminating.

Gap created by removing the top cross member.
I have also turned a platter from an old wooden landroller that was part of the museums collection but had deteriorated beyond repair.

Until next time...
