God erich SIGNAL -STAR Your guide to Christmas gift giving Hobby is now a business • from page 1 better _word," he said. "I have four to do right now. I'm booked solid until February," he said. The canoes are built in the Falconer's back shed, which was an old farmer's barn. A front display unit has been attached to the barn/workshop where the various wood crafts are displayed. "We can do 75 per cent of the woodwork- ing that comer, in. I still don't have a couple of big tools, but I have a friend in Blyth with the necessary equipment who helps me out," Mr. Falconer said. Mr. Falconer explained that he receives British Columbia red cedar for his canoes, and he had enough on band right now to do seven canoes. 'The Falcons Nest' also carry various other items in their new shop, including un- finished wood crafts which people can pur chase and paint and refinish themselves, woodcraft's supplies and hardwood lumber (maple, ash, cherry and walnut) available "to those in the hobby field," he said. All of the wood on hand is from the area, Mr. Falconer explained, except the B.C. red cedar needed for his canoes. "It takes me ,up to 70 hours to build a canoe from scratch," Mr. Falconer said. He owns three at the moment, two wood and canvas and one he said he'd never sell. "I'm going to give it to one member of my family, but I'm not sure who," he said. The Falconer's have two married sons, one daughter off in college and one grandchild (with another on the way). Most people want their canoes built, he said, "because they know what they want." He said he has the capabilities to make four different models of canoes, weighing anywhere from 42 to 85 pounds. Gail constructs most of the wood crafts which are available in the display portion of the business. "For some of the crafts, painting takes the time," she said. "It's impossible to real- ly put a time on these things. Some take several hours while others just a few minutes." . Inside are various wood crafts, stain - glassed items as well as homemade jams Gail Falconer of RR 5 Goderich checks over some of the goods which she helped create at 'The Falcons Nest', a wood crafts shop as well as a canoe restoration outfit run by herself and her husband Bruce. The Falconer's opened for business on November 21 after months of planning. (photo by Andy Bader) and jellies. "We're hoping to have things that are dif- ferent for Christmas," she said. "You know, unique ideas plus things that you can't buy in a regular store." At the moment, just Mr. and Mrs. Falconer work at the shop, which is conve- niently situated behind their house on their 45 -acre property, "Basically it's just the two of us," he said. "We hope to keep it that way. If we're rush- ed, we'll maybe hire somebody." "It'll be nice if we get that big, but then again we don't want to get too big," she said. The present location at 'The Falcons Nest' is ideal for travellers, just off of Highway 21. "We're just three miles from the square," Mrs. Falconer said, "I used to time it going to work." The pair also intend to post signs along the highway route, but certain rules and regula- tions have to be followed first. "When the, tourist trade starts, we'll need signs," she said. Maybe by then 'The Falcons Nest' will have taken off, and signs won't be needed.
