Recent Work at Lawrence’s Constant Park

While browsing social media the other day we noticed a nice post by Tom Harper who captures some of our handywork at the very tail end of 2019.

New Years Eve I noticed Keith Middlemas aka “Dr. Rock” working on the stone wall on 6th Street east of Tennessee Street in front of Constant Park. I turned around because I knew it was a special moment. I appreciate people who contribute to our built environment who have skills to design & build with quality materials that will stand the test of time. I am also grateful to the City of Lawrence for hiring Keith for this job. Next time you are in the area take a moment to study this wall. It took MANY years for the limestone to be created. We are lucky to have Keith display the stones for all of us to enjoy.

A little spring cleaning

It has been quite a while since our digital cottage tucked off the beaten path of the information highway has been updated.  While it is a work in progress, it is now faster and will work on everything from desktop computers to new hand-held phones and tablets.

There are still pictures that need to be uploaded and documents, but in the meantime, please look around and enjoy.

 

A Stone Designer on the World Wide Web?

Finial ShapingIt seems counterintuitive but after much poking and prodding, with the help of friends we have chiseled out our little corner on the world wide web.

This endeavor is new to us, while we have spent decades chipping away at the stone a whole new electronic world as been fashioned by a new generation of artists.  In this new medium, chisels and hammers have been replaced by keyboards and mice.  But this new medium will us to show a much wider audience what we can do from our studio in rural Douglas County Kansas.

Come in, look around and if anything interests you please don’t hesitate to contact us.
