30" Stretchers

My artist Friend Lee Vasu needed some stretchers made and asked me if I’d make them for him. He came to the conclusion that it’s more economical to make them yourself if you have the means.

I’m not sure, but I think I spent about 6 hours making them. All in all it was a fun project that a good friend benefits from. Any future stretchers I make for him I hope to use materials that are salvaged. Judging from all the kooky miscellaneous crap that appears in Lee’s basement, I’ll probably have the opportunity really soon.
