News from the Metal Shop

I havent written much about Sams work lately though he has been fishing and hard at work too ... After he finished the metal work on the big tables, there were a couple catch up projects and then he headed into a project for clients he met during Open Studio weekend. It was a fairly straightforward piece, a kitchen island with a Danby marble from our friends at Johnson Marble. At the moment he is working on a kind of complicated balcony project for clients in Dorset Hollow ... The design process for that project has been in the works for a while and its nice to see it taking shape ... Random images below ... click the photos to enlarge them ...

We are currently having a visitation from a sculpture that Sam gave to his friend Jennifer a few years ago ... She is waiting to move into a new house and is storing it here for the moment .. Kit and I want one ... It has a real nice David Smith like presence. We have an official (read valuable) nude woman sculpture at the top of the garden that we are guarding for a neighbor who is currently living in Boulder, but imho, Sams can easily holds its own with that one.
