From wildlife in nature to wildlife in steel — from the shop to your wall

We've spent a lot of years on the art festival and makers market circuit - packing the steel, setting a booth, and talking with people who love wildlife the way we do. All the miles and all the places, all the wildlife and all the nature. Still so much to see.

From Wisconsin timber filled with bears to Northern Minnesota water and its gentle loons and ducks. The Dakotas and Montana, where elk, moose and mule deer still stop a truck. Nature is awe inspiring diverse. We love it all and we love to share with you.

Roadrunners, sun, and the long desert drive

Arizona and New Mexico — desert light, roadrunners, kokopelli, sun, and the wildlife roaming the deserts and mountains. We see it on the road and cut it in steel when we get home.

Not the animals this time — the words

Word signs

People at the booth asking if we could cut the saying they hang in the garage, the lake house, the kitchen. Sports. Hunting. Fishing. A little wine. Steel words, same shop, same finishes. Not the animals this time — the words people already say out loud.
