My "Welcome Sign" is taking shape.  Just need to Engrave the customers name in and he's out the door.  I have sent Robin and his wife progress reports and they can't wait to get it. Carving, Staining and 5 coats of outdoor clear gloss have been applied to protect this Happy Bear!  It's Fun
to watch a piece of flat wood 24" x 20" turn into a very Unique Creation.  Please email me if you have interest.  It makes a great Personalized Gift for those special in your life.   My next sign is going to be made out of Western Red Cedar.  I'm really interested to see how it turns out!

Are you wondering where the name AUWA came from? Here is the story behind the name... 

A French Canadian named Pierre (George in English) decided to start selling his wares in the United States. George made his way down the coastline and had an appointment with a purchasing agent in New Jersey. He waited in the receiving lobby all day and at 5:00 p.m. the lights and receptionist left, leaving George there alone. George saw a light in the purchasing agents room and he shouted "AU". The purchasing agent was an Italian and shouted back "WA?" 

Hence the name AUWA came into existence. 

AUWA is about a little bit of humor and a lot of commitment.
