Ok, here are two pictures of the Grape Column to compare.
First Grape Column Second Grape Column

What are your thoughts about them? Does the 2nd one have too much stuff on it? Spencer, great idea about the vines. Would it look better just to have vines there or do the grapes make it look better?
Our newest addition to the work force of Osborne Wood Products is BETHANY!!! yay. Glad to have you with us. She is the General Flunkie.
All of Osborne Wood Products went out to lunch for Christmas yesterday. Mr. Osborne gave a speech and this is a picture of him speaking. I had to take two pictures to get everyone in them. And I still didn’t get everyone because I wasn’t there.
And we welcomed another person today actually. So that’s 2 of us not in there.

We car-pooled over there, all except for 2: Dennis and Carl. They motorcycled together. Carl had his all decorated for Christmas. The reindeer doggy plays music too, so Carlos was dancing with it.

When they left Will just had to get in on the fun.

The other day I was out in the shop snapping a few pictures.
Not sure exactly what Carl was doing… he was posing for the blog but I caught it wrong. So I’ll make something up. He was telling a fish story for the blog. “You should have seen the fish I caught this weekend… it was thiiiis big.”
ok, maybe it wasn’t that.

Dennis is another story…

Now you know what I go through to get pictures for you to view.
just kidding. They’re great.
Cal was doing some gluing… its a really nifty machine he’s using.

The green machine is where Cal is putting the boards which are glued so they can dry.

Hope you have a great weekend!
We had a record week in shipping. So we had a pizza party!!!
But somehow Russ ended up thinking it was a sea food party… you see food… you eat it. See?

Will played around with dominoes… well, the pizza boxes that is.
Carl got a ‘head start’ at knocking them over.

Thank you Domino’s for the great pizza!
Well, Matthew has made some changes to the appearance of the blog. It looks pretty good!
The shipping area is continuing to be reorganized. Hopefully everything will find a home soon. I’ll put up pictures later.
Vivian decorated a Christmas tree in the office! She made ornaments with all our names on them… it is really special. And it’s so beautiful! Wish you could see it in person… but pictures will have to do. (unless you work here or come in)
Its sooooo pretty.
We have a new catalog which will be coming out SOON
Ok, Matthew said that they will be printed about Christmas time and we’ll have them by the end of the year.
Oh yay!! Today Dad surprised me with some photos that our customers took of things they made using legs we made.
This desk was made using 4 of the Plantation Buffet Legs the gentleman who made this desk turned bun feet onto the bottom of the legs, and has suggested that we add it as a new stock item. What do you think?

Another customer sent us these two pictures. They used the Non Fluted Bun to make this absolutely beautiful couch.

And also this amazing fun looking stool.

Well, that’s all the pictures I have to put up here, so I shall bid thee farewell.
Going once…
going twice…
gone!
Well today we had a party for a record week in the office. The record was 578 orders! W-O-W! It was set November 13-18 AND Martha just told me that they also had a record day and that new record is 161 orders, set on November 13th. Way to go Office crew! And Carl was pointing out how production and shipping help the office to get that record.
It is a team effort that is for sure, and our wonderful customers placing orders.
For a switch we had SubWay subs instead of pizza. Yummy!
