One of the many things that I love about owning my own business is the variety each day brings. A few weeks ago Joe came into the shop looking for our help. His hunting buddy's father had recently passed away and he wanted us to make a permanent tribute to give to his friend. What would one hunter give to another? Something they shot of course! Joe brought in a pheasant that he had and asked us to make something appropriate for home display. We used some lichens and reeds that are native to Maine, then added some permanent botanicals that we felt best showed off the bird. He was so touched by what we created, took a picture of it with his camera phone and has been showing it off around town since.
