Where to start?

Description:

A fully pneumatic Canvas Stretching Machine designed to produce gallery wraps and regular stretches in less than 3 minutes. This canvas stretching machine offers two very unique features that set it apart from other stretching machines on the market, an adjustable pressure regulated stretcher bar and a side mounted workbench mounting system that provides the operator with a relatively seamless work surface. Another feature that is uncommon to existing stretching machines is that stapling is done from the front. In addition to all the these features, all of the folds can be made in place.Weighing only 40 pounds, it can easily be transported and placed on top of any flat work surface that will accommodate a 3.5 X 10 X 48 footprint.

The simplest steps can save lots of time. Likewise, the simplest errors can cause major headaches. Using these tricks and techniques will help you stay on track.

Do you love your dog as much as I love mine?

If your dog is more than just your trusted
companion then you'll love having him or her
looking back at you the next time you hang your
jacket, look in the mirror, or pull
your favorite novel out of your magazine rack
before settling into your favorite chair.

Look for the original carving marks amid the
painstaking details of the hand painting
and then feel the difference a hand rubbed finish
makes.

Your dog is already part of your life, now make
him part of your home.




I don't need to visit your home to know that your
cabinets are stuffed with mugs you
don't need. But man - o - man... doesn't your
coffee taste that much better when you
sip it from a mug with your dog on it?

Now imagine combining a hand painted carving of
your dog with a gorgeous piece of
furniture made out of solid Oak or solid Cherry.
A timeless treasure, hand made
with old world craftsmanship... a true work of
art!

There'll always be a place for furniture that
requires "minor assembly", but when
you want something to be a part of your life
forever, or a gift to someone you
love and want them to know it, then bring home a
piece of functional art and watch
the room light up.


About the Hand Carvings

There are wood carvers and then there are "Master
Wood Carvers" and Michael Park
is a 2nd generation Master Wood Carver. Michael
learned his craft as his father's
apprentice at a young age and then mastered his
craft through over 19 years of
pain staking study and practice.

And here's a little secret Michael is too modest
to talk about but I'll let you
in on the truth.

The state of Pennsylvania actually honored
Michael Park by officially certifying
him as a "Master Wood Carver". When was the last
time you heard of an artist being
certified by the state? This is an impressive
accomplishment in anybody's book!

But don't let this scare you off.

Because while it's true that a Michael Park
original could easily set you back
$5,000 or more for the carving alone, the dogs
you see are exact reproductions
of his original artwork. But each and every one
of the reproductions is produced
and hand painted in Michael's studio to match
your dog's exact colors. Your dog
is one of a kind and so are these carvings.

Sure, you can find other dog carvings but it's
like giving your Fiance, a Cubic
Zirconia as an engagement ring. It might look
good from a distance but it'll
never be a Diamond. Treat yourself to a rare
piece of timeless art today and
you'll love it forever.

A special memories album is an ideal Christmas, birthday, anniversary, wedding or christening gift because it is a collection of special memories. The album could include photos, poems, certificates, concert tickets, and newspaper clippings, scraps of fabric or anything else that holds sentimental value. It could be a kind of “This is our life” album.
