The shop is 12 x 14 ft...I wish it were bigger....one never seems to have enough room.
Below is a photograph of the work shop I built next to our Log Cabin, so I could work in some comfort inside. It is heated and air conditioned and has a 100 amp electric service that I put in, and is insulated and sheet rocked.
The Workshop
One wall of shop with shelves for my Art
A shot of the hand carved Eagle (one piece) carved from an apple tree, which stands 4 ft. tall from the base to the tips of the wings, also notice the big Powwow Drum I made from Cedar covered with Buffalo (Bison) Rawhide both sides, see link included to see the Powwow Drum clearly..http://eaglesbrothersgourdsandart.blogspot.com/2008/11/powwow-drum.html

Some Gourd Rattles, the second from top has a Buffalo Rib bone used as a handle..all are beaded by me, and one Buffalo Jawbone War Club just below them, using glass seed beads, one bead at a time in the Peyote Stitch, also called the Gourd Stitch.That concludes the first day tour of my workshop, come back tomorrow for a further tour.

Nice job Bob...what a nifty place to work and spend time.
Fantastic beginning! If you have a visitor counter on your site don't be alarmed if I show up frequently, I am just admiring your work. Looking forward to tomorrow's tour.
Beautiful work! I remember my mother-in-law sewing together feather fans and singing dine' songs... and I would always wind up falling to sleep listening to her sing...
