If you spend as much time outside and in the forest as I do you may have noticed something peculiar this fall. There are very few if any nuts, seeds or acorns on any of the trees. This is probably due to our very dry spring/ summer this year and the trees will get by as they know how to. It will however be a very lean year for our forest friends the squirrel who depend on the trees for food. Squirrels have taken a bad rap over the years, thought of only as destructive pests that rob bird feeders and destroy our property. I assure you nothing could be further from the truth. 
    Squirrels are the true shepherds of the forest and play a very important part in the health and vitality of a true forest. Squirrels in all their busy foraging plant trees and they cull unwanted species out of the forest but their most important part is unseen by our eyes. Squirrels distribute mushroom spores much like bees pollinate flowers. Mushrooms and their hidden plant mycelium provide food for trees by digesting dead trees and leaves much like probiotics in your stomach. So this winter set out something for our friends that tend to our forests for us, They could use the helping hand this winter. Please share this to friends in Southern Ontario and help our forests
​ Thank you Don

Well I haven't posted in a while. Truth  be told it was so hot this summer you couldn't even walk in to my shop let along actually work in there, but what a summer it was. I spent it getting back to another one of my true loves, forest running. I'm down about 15 pounds and very smiley, This is my first effort at live edge and I think it turned out nicely. The gracefully tapered legs contrast the rustic edge and the whole thing is in walnut, a beautiful tree and even more beautiful wood. We are having an open house this weekend so drop by if your looking for something to do this weekend (15-16) You can see more of my furniture and some fantastic wooden clocks. our shop is located at the corner of York and Victoria behind the Guelph Grotto climbing gym
