Day One Tour of My Workshop

As promised today is the start of a Tour of My Work Shop..Day One...

Click on any photograph to enlarge for a better view.

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..

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.
