The Blank Slate Project
This client wanted something truly special and unique. The request was to create something that resembled an actual tree. We used dark brown sisal to mimic tree bark, leafy green paint for the runs to serve as the foliage and the the scooped beds were to resemble fruit or flower blossoms. Clever idea that definitely challenged Jake with regards to design, structural integrity and creativity! The finished product is one of our best yet! And yes, all for a family of rescued Sphynx's! How cute are they?

Check out this installation video. Six hours of install sped up to a 3 minute clip! Pretty cool to see it all come together, how he lays out the design plan, and then the kitties finally getting brave enough to come and check it out. Takes a bit for them to decide to come and explore after all of the noises and commotion.
Laying out the design.
No project is complete without "helpers".
Jake works clean! Makes a "neat mess".
Each piece is entirely handcrafted, nothing machine made.
