Workshop

Here are some images of the creative process that takes place in Uncle Eddie's workshop. His shop is an old 19th century restored carriage house, part of the historical district of Cape Cod. Most of the tools used in his wood carving are antiques inherited from his family. The shake roofs of his castles are hand cut. Copper roofs are hand shaped. The windows are created from leaded stained glass. Each stone used in the walls, window arches and doorways are individually mortared in place. Spiral stairways are constructed from flat stones gathered from Cape Cod beaches. These are found after the fierce Nor' Easters that New England is famous for. It takes this kind of severe storm to create the breakers that send these flat stones up to the surface and then onto the beaches.
