Encourage Institute Sign
Delivered
Not
back-lit, but one of Nathan's first, though more
intriguing projects to date, was a sign he made for
EnCourage Institute for Teaching and Learning in his
hometown of Grand Rapids Michigan. Nathan selected
10 different species of hardwood, 1 species for each
letter. From the left, the book and stars are
Cedar, the "E" is Cocobolo, the "N" is Purpleheart, the
"C" is Cocobolo", the "O" is Rosewood, the "U" is
Basswood, the "R" is Walnut, the "A" is Mahogony,' the
"G" is Zebrawood, and the "E" is Maple. The
metaphor is that every child the EnCourage Institute
works with, in fact every member if society is very
unique, has unusual characteristics, and sometimes
requires different techniques to interact with.
But when working together, all members of society, just
like varied hardwoods, come together to form something
magnificent.

BIOLOGY
The one on the left is a very
special one! Note the solid marble skulls!
Yes, Nathan uses a special diamond blade saw to
cut skulls out of slabs of solid marble,
then he embeds the marble skulls into the sign.

KRAZY GEORGE!
Delivered
Nathan used a jigsaw to cut out an amazing 5 color
stencil for signs to announce
Krazy George's arrival at the San Jose July 4, 2015
"Rose White and Blue Parade".
PARADING with KRAZY GEORGE!
The Krazy George signs were the hit
of the parade as Nathan lead his Boy Scout troop in
LEADING the San Jose Rose White and Blue Parade on July
4, 2015. Yup, they walked in front of the parade,
passing an estimated 25,000 attendees, making way for
Krazy George who was 20 feet behind in a big fire truck.
