Here are a few more shots from our current project for Wood County Hospital. These images show the welds being ground and sanded flush, the surface of the tree is also sanded, this is all in preparation for the sandblasting, which is the next step, and will even out the finish on the surface of the tree. Then it’s all about attaching the resin leaves.

These are some older images, from last winter to be exact, of Vieng’s Asian Bistro in Westlake, Ohio. We did two dragons fabricated out of steel. We also did a set of door pulls, which were cast in bronze. The dragons and door pulls were designed and executed by TORK. Sorry, we only have an image of the outside dragon, but the inside one is actually quite similar. Maybe we’ll get a better shot one day.

This is our current project for the Healing Garden at Wood County Hospital in Bowling Green, Ohio. This is another tree, similar to the one we did for Dublin Methodist Hospital, but a bit smaller to fit the space. It is made of stainless steel and will be sandblasted, just like the Tripoint Medical Center trees. The leaves will be resin, and the color spectrum will be reds, from deep red on the larger leaves to light red on the smaller. We’ll post images of those when we start attaching them. So, please enjoy these progress pictures.

Friends, clients, countrymen, earthlings, and extra terrestrials, here is a video, and our first ever process video, that was filmed during the fabrication, casting, and installation process of the trees that we designed and executed for Tripoint Medical Center in Painesville, Ohio. The video also includes interviews with Mark and Tony. This video was shown during the opening gala on Oct 16. This was filmed and edited by Jake Housh. Enjoy!
