motivation is more
about the pursuit of a
fun new project than a
booming business.
Its not really a
money-making endeavor, said Natalie.
Thats not the reason
were doing it. If we sell
something and make
a little money, thats a
plus.
Its more the love
of creativity and the
opportunity to create
for others. Much like
Delmer did for so many
years.
Bill has an index
card holder of some of
Delmers plans for his
barn wood projects. Bill
said those cards included some sketches of
his projects with notes
and basic dimensions.
A family heirloom that
serves as proof of a
creative mind at work.
Much like what will fill
the shop at Peats Creek
Trading Company,
