Customer Creations Spotlight of the Day Barbara Dougherty!

Today we are spotlighting Barbara Dougherty and her vision for a table.  If you walked in the shop one day and saw this gadget would you say to yourself  "hmmm  that would make a great table base".  Well Barbara did. 
The base she picked is an Antique hand operated sheep shearer called the "Stewart Clipper"  manufactured by the Chicago Flexible Shaft Co.   It was missing its shaft that would run to the clipper.  Neat early American industrial ingenuity.  Barbara and her friend (and mine),  Terry Jacobucci, pondered the thought of what the table would look like and if the base would work.  Well it did.  Barbara had a table top mounted to the base.  A few alterations later and voila a beautiful table.  Mike and I love how it came.  We are always looking for iron bases for tables, mounting weather vanes, architectural elements and so much more.   Glad Barbara was able to use the clipper for the base she had been looking for.  Thank you for sharing your project and ideas with us.    Suzanne
