We’ve begun planning our third year of Camp Wagakwud and we couldn’t be more excited to finally go camping again this summer.

Lumbering in Ypsi
While at my parents’ this past weekend I found a 1959 catalogue for a Fingerle, Hollister, and Wood Lumber Co., an old lumber company that once existed on E. Michigan Ave. in my hometown of Ypsilanti, MI.
While the Fingerle Lumber Company still exists in Ann Arbor, the Fingerle, Hollister, and Wood joint store has been gone long enough that my Dad is the only family member who remembers it, having grown up in the area in the ’60′s.
I loved looking through the catalogue to see the ads, illustrations, design, tools, and lumber of the 1950′s.

My Dream Axe
For some time now, I have wanted to own a really nice axe. I’m not sure exactly what I’d do with it aside from look at it, but there’s something really great about having a nice axe hanging on my future workshop wall.
Best Made Company makes some of the finest axes around, so here are a few of my favorite axes and axe accessories I will one day own.

Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit
Today I went to my favorite place to get raw material for my wood projects, The Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit. The mission statement from their website sums up what they do best:
“The Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit deconstructs buildings in Southeast Michigan to keep environmental resources out of the waste stream, and to make decent, affordable housing materials available to low- and moderate-income families.”
Here are some pictures I took of my trip to the warehouse today:
