lululemon Westboro Store

We couldn’t be more excited about kicking off our working relationship with lululemon. They’re a super strong and creative brand with roots out of the snow industry and we have always loved working with Canadians. The first project we did was for an art installation that will be mounted on the wall behind the cash wrap.

For this project we logged all the lumber, milled the material, designed and built the signs, and worked with a local artist to do the screen printing. We shot photos and filmed the whole process and then included…

Obermeyer’s 90th Birthday Present

We recently embarked on another big project built almost exclusively from colorado beetle kill timber.

The project started with biodiesel fueled voyage deep into the woods in the trusty old plow truck. The beetle kill is almost all standing dead that amounts to a huge fire hazard so all removal is fire mitigation. After a some scouting, a few hours of wielding the Stihls and pretending to be lumbjacks we had a truck packed with timber.

We then headed into the shop to begin milling…
