Not gonna lie –  we are both loving the aroma of the workshop these past few weeks – as well as loving the process of creating furniture and accessories out of the staves – barrel tops and rings.

We love the process of creating new pieces –  marrying some wonderful heirlooms and artifacts to make something very unique – something with a history – a piece that will live on indefinitely.      Take a peek at the gallery below to see a few of the items we have fabricated .. the pics below are taken in our own home.  The possibilities are endless – more pics of other areas, in our little abode, to come.     Also, click the Furniture & Accessories Tab to see a bigger selection.

Please drop us a line if you want a quote on designing and creating any metal and wood furniture and accessories.

We would be happy to collaborate with you  on your project —  add a metal component – a table or bench frame – unique shelving .  Bring us your ideas or ask us for input ~   info@oldsoul.ca

I am not going to lie —  these past two years has been good for  “on property projects”, up here in the Grey Highlands.     From building a ‘First lockdown” Tree fort  and an Outdoor kitchen, complete with a wood fired pizza oven and barrel smoker/BBQ – to a Pandemic Path – we have kept ourselves busy with some very fun projects!

We are looking forward to participating in the Autumn Leaves Studio Tour again this year — October 1, 2 & 3 — from 10 am to 5pm.    After cancelling the tour last year — a group of tour members have been busy making sure we are open and safe for visitors this year!

Please visit the  Website for info on all participating Studios ~ 2021

Chris and Arlene Saunders welcome you to their creative space in the lovely Grey Highlands. You’ll find furniture and accessories made from reclaimed wood and metal – items using found material and interesting artifacts for indoor and out! Pair that up with paintings (watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media – local scenes and architectural compositions) and kinetic sculpture. Commissions are welcome.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Fine Craft Christmas show in Owen Sound.   As we hoped — our new kinetic sculptures were a hit… some designs almost sold out —    take a look at the variety —  send in suggestions and we will custom make your own design.    Here are a few pics of them in production.
