On the Set of Square Peg's


A while back we did an interesting piece for a movie set. It incorporated clear plexiglass which was covered with an Oak veneer, V carved text, then burned with a torch for the final aging effects. Once completed this piece was backlighted with candles for the final scene.
The short film is a project of my son Ben's film titled "Square Pegs" which will premiere at the Downers Grove Tivoli sometime in January and no doubt in many independant film festivals.
As an aside the Tivoli is the 2nd oldest movie theater in the US, West of the Appellation Mountains originally built for "The Talkies" and its a beautifully restored theater complete with the rising pipe organ and organist. You really need to see it yourself to appreciate it. So maybe we'll see you there at the "After hours Film Society's" Tivoli premier in January 07.

The Show must go on!


Our custom sign work invloves just about anything from commercial to residential, and industrial clients. When it comes to Trade show exhibits, it's usually something that needs to be custom and quick. NO PROBLEM!
We frequently turn this type of Gator Foam letters and logos around in a few days but always in time for the show.
These are a portion of some letters we were asked to provide for one of the many shows here at Chicago's McCormick convention center.
So if it's a trade show schedule, or a commercial property sign, let Wellhouse Woodworks show you what we can do for you.

Dimensional Medallions ready for installation


We were commissioned to help with a Downtown remodeling project which is still underway for a well established pub. As the final fabrication and finishing progresses, we will publish more photos plus the final creation. On this project we collaborated with a great Company that specializes in custom period interior bars and are having a lot of fun working with them on the artistic details. You can see their work at the link on our website or go to www.raywray.com. Impressive work!
These are some custom dimensional medallions which will accent part of the exterior design.
So if you're considering some unique accent or signature pieces or an entire custom project, we would love to hear from you.
Happy Holidays

One of our 2006 Charitable projects


We occasionally get requests to donate some of our time and services and are happy to share our capabilities for a good cause. While we can't describe what we did or what is was for, this photo may give you a clue as to what we were up to recently. I think the project will be made public on January 17th for those who tune in to the right TV station so stay tuned for more details.
