An old store was taken down here in my town that had been here for many many years, it was called verbena pecan, and was the place where the older generation gathered and where they sold there pecans that came from people all over the county here, i was asked by the owner if i would make a model of the store and to use the wood that came from the building, so over the last month that is what ive done. im going to do a blog on this project and will go more into depth on the details, the wood used on this was sweet gum, heart pine, red cedar and walnut.one last touch i did was to add a light to the model, just like any home or building it seems to have more life when there is light inside, so i added one. stay tuned for a blog this coming week. thanks for any comments you might have.

Grizzman looks great, the old timers gotta be proud, makes me want a moon pie!
Speaking of old timers I remember stores like this with screen doors where me and my brother would sell bottles and buy candy.

A great job on what I am sure was, and still is in many people’s hearts and minds, a true institution.
They are getting to be fewer and fewer as I get older and older.
Good for you!

That old timer knew just the right guy to ask to build it Grizz.
It came out great and you should be proud of the tradition you’ve saved and honored.
Looking forward to the blog.

Super nice Grizz..You always find some really extraordinary projects to build….
it brought back memories of an old house that was the Verbena Bakery around my neighborhood when I was a little kid growing up. I remember the freshly cooked donuts that were almost too hot to eat that were 60 cents a dozen..
