Hi ,
We were so excited to have had this past weekend off! It's the first Memorial weekend we have had in 6 years. We were hoping to miss out on the rain and enjoy staying dry, but it did not rain like it traditionally does. Actually, we did not have the weekend off, we still worked, just not at a show.
Dwayne & I made a delivery to the Best Western Hotel in Lusk, WY and then installed some custom hand railing at a client's home in Golden, CO.
Dwayne has been working his tail feathers off and is gearing up for a busy summer of travel. Some of our stops include Aspen, Lake Tahoe, Park City, Evergreen, Frisco, Beaver Creek, and Breckenridge. We have a couple of new designs in the pipeline, including a reclining stone chair and a swivel love seat. We're taking stone chair comfort to a new level.

Where in the World is Stone 2 Furniture?
I am at the Best Western Pioneer Hotel in Lusk WY. Getting ready to set up some bar stools and visiting with the owner, Tom.
Setting up stools around the wagon/bar.
Chisel came along for the ride. The Best Western Pioneer in Lusk, WY is a beautiful place to stay with updated rooms. From Colorado it's a perfect stop on the way to Mount Rushmore, The Black Hills, and Crazy Horse. They have an entire courtyard of stone furniture. Tom the owner makes omelettes outside in the morning around the covered wagon where you can sit on some stone bar stools and enjoy the morning. |

Dwayne's Artist Statement:

Dwayne Welding a Table Base |
Here is a clip of Dwayne making a table base and wrapping metal around the legs. Make sure your volume is down :) It's noisy in the shop.
My sculpture is a reflection of my desire to create challenging show-stopping pieces of art. I choose to work with metal because of its durability and longevity. Being able to stop a horse in action, capture and maintain the definition of its muscle structure and strength is my greatest reward. I am challenged by the complexity and beauty of the horse and with each piece I try a more complex stance. I work with stone, steel, copper, stainless steel & aluminum.
Artist Statement
My rock chairs have been compared to something found on the set of the Flintstones, but great care is given to ensure they are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The stone added to discarded steel results in functional furniture inspired by Mother Nature. They are not only weatherproof, but integrate easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty.

If you have existing handrail in your home that you would like to replace, this is a very simple way to update the look of your home. For more information about handrail please email us at here.
Hope to see you to see you over the summer! Let us know if we can help you design that perfect piece for your home.
Best wishes, Dwayne & Jill
