Honolulu, Hawaii

An arty portal through the wood garden gate and into the modest backyard, landscaped with an inimitable Hawaiian appeal. Judging from the board and baton siding, the property would date to the late 20’s.

The re-emergence of Jocko. No known address. 3-time felon. Stints in Quentin, the Big House. And yet lovable, if you were to ask Lewella Lovely.

Lovable Jocko, with a gun.

CUSTOM WOOD GARDEN GATES #2-7

Sanibal Island, Georgia

Garden Gate #2-7 sent in from the small Island of Sanibel –offshore from Ft Meyers, Florida. The photo alone seems to express leisure and the impression of a low metabolic existence.

With the architecture itself featuring the low-pitch roofline, the same precedent should follow with the planting. Selecting low plantings that will not in coming years completely upstage the house itself.

Muskeegan, Michigan

We throw this site in, located a few hundred miles north of Chicago along Lake Michigan, not so much for how the gate fits within the schematic of an existing fence, but to impress you with how a few thoughtful revisions can redefine an otherwise unassuming curb appeal.

Atlanta, Georgia

Illustrating a distinctive means of dealing with the narrow easement common to the density of a metropolitan city. Wood Garden Gate #2-8 in Atlanta, GA. Shown with flanking panels and a 3rd party arbor.

(Please, when painting the gates, allow them to breath for 2-3 weeks prior to applying any non-absorbent finish. Absorbent finishes, such as WoodRX, are flexible and move with the breathing wood. Paint does not, and particularly so in areas such as Georgia in August. Allow the cedar to acclimate, and then apply your paint finish.

The wooden spokeshave shown was one of the many hand tools Charles inherited from his step-father, or his step-father’s father, or his step-father’s father’s father. A tool, basically, that belongs in the grip of his hand as much as his hand belongs to his arm.
