tin tin tin







we have new and old tin.
...the new is nice and clean and easy to use and uniform...we have a big stock in .......

the old comes mainly from our chicago connection....its a bit heavier, lots roughter, more variety...and probably a bit harder to use..usually lots of rust and some holes and ragged edges.... ....
..we have quite a bit of old right now...on the back porch and in the rough room....and maybe some outside under the snow....

we have framed up some big 7 ft tall pieces...they are so good for the modern tall tall walls....
i hear new uses from our customers every week....this week it was making a whole wall out of them!!!
but usually its more about behind the stove, or to fill in cabinet doors....etc
we use tin for birdhouse roofs, backgrounds on cupboards, doors, big beds with porchpost for the posts and wall pieces....
