Craft Show Frenzy

Ned Kiker is at the Country Club today, offering beautiful pieces for sale at the Gainesville Christian Women's Connection Luncheon.

So many beautiful pieces: honey locust, camphor, cedar, cherry, long leaf pine, oak, and even some granite complete the collection.

Check out the close-up of the iridescent golden camphor grain. Our last piece sold today. Don't worry-- we'll try to find some more. Those three pieces we had were truly brilliant.

Special order

We're having a great time working on a custom project today. The palette is a gorgeous thick piece of spalted hickory which we are preparing for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. We won't post completed photos until after the presentation because we don't want to ruin the surprise.

Practicing and perfecting our methods of personalizing boards brings potential for discovery. Below, a piece of pine is adorned with a small embellishment while we test out a new method of paint application with stencils. The result is brilliant! New product ideas percolate in the creative minds of the Kiker Brothers. You saw it first right here, moments after discovery.

"Necessity is the brother of invention." We amuse ourselves with philosophical thoughts as we work with our hands.
