September 8th, 2012

A member of one of the local Masonic Lodges ask me to produce this works to be placed within the entrance foyer of their lodge. The window sash and cedar wood was furnished by the member. I constructed the window framing and edging. The cedar was used to enclose the frame around the window. Brass sheeting was used to create a metal roofing look. The idea was to make the completed window reflect the long standing importance of the lodge and its effect on the men who the present and past members.

Once the basic design was agreed upon I made my drawings and layout. There are a lot of sections that the designs have been painted and fired in order to get the complete effect of an individual object. Some times the firing caused the glass to darken and created a total different look from the original glass color.

This has been a very interesting and challenging work.
