Barewood Carvings  There's magic in wood, and Derek Letourneau knows how to release it. For most people, woodcarving is an art, but Letourneau lifts it to the level of fine art. Working with native and imported exotic hardwoods, he creates sculptures that are admired by all who see them. (NB)

Barrel Carving  Peter Forbes is a talented British Columbia artist continuously experimenting with new techniques and media. Formally educated in art and design, Peter first picked up carving tools and experimented in wood and other three dimensional works, while sailing the high seas for more inspiration. Since then, Peter has gravitated to the specialty signage industry, crafting a legacy of work that decorates many local businesses, and those in Europe, Australia, Japan, the Middle East and the United States. Peter has now been inspired to establish himself with a unique style of artwork on recycled oak barrels. The designs range from simple to very complex and become family heirlooms as well as wonderful adornments, advertising tools or basic signage. (BC)

Cariboo Musical Instruments  Luthier Rich Kenny takes great pride in every aspect of each instrument he produces. Currently, he makes two models of steel string acoustic guitars, resophonic (dobro-style) guitars and mountain dulcimers. Located in British Columbia, he often uses indigenous wood such as maple, walnut, Western red cedar, Sitka spruce and birch, but has access to most other tone woods. Great care is taken to develop the individual sound of each instrument as it is being built and only solid woods are used. Custom work is welcomed and electric pickups can be installed on request. You may have a guitar built to your specifications at little or no extra cost, however, choice of materials and design characteristics determine the cost to a great extent. Consultation is free. All work is fully warranted. Take a look at the website for more information. (BC)
