The Taproot
March Customer Projects – Vol. 51
We’re still reeling from excitement for the all the gold medals won by Canada’s Olympic Team, including those in Men’s and Women’s curling. Congratulations to everyone!
These curling rocks were made by our customer Francis Gaetz (250-723-6171) out of our eastern maple. Thanks for sending this in. Great work!

Your curling rocks are amazing, are they the width of a true curling rock? If so, l would be interested in one, l have someone retiring in May of this year and would like one for our staff to sign and be able to present it at the party. Is this something you can do? If so, please provide the details and costs.
Regards,
Shirley
Hi Shirley, thanks so much for the comment. We actually have nothing to do with these other than supplying the wood to Francis. This was a few years ago, not sure if he is still making them. His telephone number is in the post if you want to get in touch.
