31 days ago by Mark DeCou | 3 comments »

This blog is just for showing a couple of new concept sketches of a carved walking cane design that I am working on so that the prospective customer can view the concept drawings and provide his input, or approval. This prospective customer is a disabled Air Force veteran who wants a custom walking cane, due to a right leg injury he suffered during the war in Iraq.

Progression Photos on the "The Greatest Story Ever Told" Walking Cane Project

56 days ago by Mark DeCou | 12 comments »

Realizing that the story and photos of this walking cane project are decidedly Christian in content, if you are offended by such things, you should read another Blog. This project is a cane that I was commissioned to build, which tells the story of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and will be used to talk about the customer’s faith as he uses the symbols to tell the story. I hope that if you are offended by the content, that you will at least enjoy the woodworking process that is...

Trying my big hairy hands at Silversmithing Work, first photos of my 4th project

120 days ago by Mark DeCou | 12 comments »

I think it is really important to constantly try to learn new things. Could just be my ADHD. But, I’m too old for medications, so I take on new things to learn to keep my mind freed-up from boredom. I just don’t like doing anything the same, more than once, or twice. And, I’ve been trying to find ways to make a niche for myself in the vast internet woodworking world. To that end, I try unique crafts, and do cross-discipline, mixed-media work, in the hopes that my work...
