Today, we met Donald Nelson. We didn’t believe it when he told us, but Donald is 102 years old(!) and was a radar tech in England during #WW2. He worked with De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Mosquitos, and came to see ours today. It’s days like today that remind us why we do what we do. ❤️

To kick-off your weekend, enjoy this shot of our CF-104D joining the Conairs in some sunbathing today 😍 (It IS Friday, after all 🤷🏼‍♂️)

We have a new fav magazine 😍 ➡️ICYMI: Our friends at Meiklejohn Architects won the Sansin Award from @CdnWoodFacts for their work on the KF Centre for Excellence. This issue of Woodworking Magazine just confirmed what we already knew - the team at Meiklejohn are absolutely world-class.
