We've started 'decorating' the front window of the Sarrazin.  As you can see we have added a picket fence.  David has made a paper sign with the CAD program on the computer and will paint the same sign on the glass so that we can take down the temporary paper version soon. We have also added lighting behind the fence and curtain to attract attention at night as well.  (11.05.00)

Here are finished pickets that will be put into a radial saw jig to produce precision points. Note that this is a mixed run of cedar and pine pickets that will be used for lumberyard samples and the fence we put in the Sarrazin window.  (11.01.00)
