| Jeff, a self-described hobbiest sculptor, is working with Cim MacDonald to restore this sculpture, one of the best known in Chemainus. In the photo he is carving detail into the piece of wood added to replace the damaged hand of the sculpted forest worker. The original sculpture, “Spool Donkey“, was created in 1983 by Elmar Schultes.
Connie Greig-Manning is hard at work restoring her creation, mural #31, The Lumber Barons, originally painted in 1992. represents mill manager John Humbird who oversaw the building of the forth mill in Chemainus in 1924, and H.R. McMillan, one of the most successful lumber barons in BC history who purchased the mill in the 1940s. |
