Chip is running really busy today so he did not have time to stop and help me put together a Hawk Studio blog post – so today I am winging it.
First – here is Chip’s find of the week. It is a big metal footpress thingy that, once the motor is removed and the tip changed, will be a hole punch for his leather work.
Chip was able to get the foot press mechanism working and he is excited because this will be a human powered hole punch – no outside power source needed.
Also this week, our neighbors in back decided to cut down some small maple trees in their yard – which put my family to work, peeling bark off of some of the limbs for later use in Chip’s rustic wood furniture.
Here’s Markus at work. . .
and Jesse . . .
and Vash.
Vash wouldn’t look in the camera – he did not want to be distracted from his work.
Finally, lets close with a picture Chip took of one of his bags against the siberian irises in our “smile” garden (named for the shape of this particular garden plot).
I love the siberian irises when they are in bloom. His bag is pretty cool too.
Okay, that’s my Hawk Studio blog for today. Tomorrow, I am thinking chocolate cake. Okay, I am thinking chocolate cake right now, but I will post about it tomorrow. Have a great Thursday.

And now I’M thinking chocolate cake! Mmmmmmm….. Look at how cute those boys are working. And that’s a whole lot of big equipment to punch some tiny holes. Tell Chip I have a hole puncher here at home that I could have sent him in the mail….he didn’t have to buy one that needs it’s own house. 🙂 That bag look lovely as well, especially against the iris backdrop.
Yeahhhh. Cake city! I’ve got superstition Irises in front and soon to be in back yard, where new studio’s going. Good looking family Chip! The void in my life, family and a good woman. I get the studio up and running. Some buyer confidence. Oh yeah!!!! I am about to break the ice! A custom order! I love chocolate cake.
