John Paterson began crafting wood as a boy, making toys and utensils from “left overs” from his fathers’ cottage building. This life long connection with Bella Lake continues through the repurposing of fallen trees into furniture for both indoors and outdoors.
Viewers will see sturdy timber benches from reclaimed white cedar and ash in styles ranging from driftwood, classic pedestal with flat or saddle seats and bold half-log. Also, for hanging coats and clothing, are branch and twig racks.
