It was a bitter sweet morning installing this hand carved angel onto the entryway of this residence. Owner and Stone Carver, Ryan Watson (above) spent almost as much time carving out her delicate facial expression as he did on an entire wing. Watson's goal was for her to look loving and peaceful yet proud to take watch over her home. There's nothing like getting a carving out of the shop and into the suns different ranges of cross lighting. Her face lights up in different ways depending on the time of day. This is one you need to see in person at the 700th block of Queen Street at 7th Avenue in Saskatoon, SK. Stay tuned for a time lapse video of her face from start to finish courtesy of Chuckla Productions.
Our stone carving schedule is in full throttle. While we were all recovering from turkey Owner & Stone Carver Ryan Watson was hard at work in the shop pitching limestone. He pitches the stone by hand using the traditional tools of the trade. Here you see Watson piecing together the limestone entryway (top left) for a 100 year old Tudor style residence in Saskatoon, SK. The round pitched bases (bottom right) will match the existing masonry. Watson has begun carving the homes street address by hand into a keystone which will adorn the top of the entryway. Stay tuned!
