Logo take 1

I've been working with a designer to come up with a logo for my business. This version captures the idea of pieces of wood coming together to form a new creation, but it still misses an icon and I don't really identify with it.

Monsieur Dior meets the Sopranos

I bought this hat in Rome, but lost the black mafia ribbon it originally came with, so I thought it's time my R5 Monsieur Dior investment paid off...

Best 12 bucks I ever spent

Two vintage ties, R5 each
One of them sporting a real larny label

A couple of old-school par avion envelopes, R2 for the lot

= R12 well spent

Horses and Tomatoes

Rising from the Sawdust

Ta daaaaaaaa! My first order in the flesh...so exciting. She still needs sanding down and refining, but still.... The wood we used for this table is reclaimed oregan pine, the beams still have old nail marks and lots of character.I look at this brand-new-old beauty and imagine years of dinner parties, greasy hangover breakfasts, birthday celebrations and life stuff that's going to happen around these solid beams.

Horsing Around

My week in JHB has slowed me down zzzzzz...didn't get much done last week and tomorrow is a public holiday. Went to the workshop on Saturday to check on my tables and it was manic, people all over the show wanting things and my orders were moved to the bottom of the pile. I'm going to have to do some whipping this week..

The good news is that I have some logo developments going, still rough but its looking good.

My Hometown

My weekend in Welkom was, i don't even have words to describe it. I'll let these pics do some talking.
