Glacial Wood Products teamed up with master wood carver Konstantinos Papadakis to create a wall of wood icons that will be featured in a Rochester, Minn., church.
Papadakis, of Minneapolis, began carving wood at the age of 9, and has had his work featured in churches, homes, offices and buildings around the world. His latest project is to create an iconostasis, which is a wall of icons separating the nave from the sanctuary in a church. Glacial Wood's Dick Johnson is working with Papadakis on the creation, which is expected to be completed in summer 2011.
“[Glacial Wood Products] does what I ask them to do. You see I’m an old man with an old tradition. I like the old traditional way. I like things to be done the correct way. Glacial Wood Products communicates well with me and they do what I’m asking for. They do my job well,” said Papadakis.
Once the wood carving project is completed, photographs will be displayed on Glacial Wood's website and Papadakis' website.
Money can’t buy you love, but tens of thousand of dollars can buy you a mini playhouse mansion complete with petite custom furniture.

This new condo-scaled furniture collection features Zebrano veneers with complementing paint trim colors of silver, black and pink as well as Amaretto and Mahogany wood finishes.
“You always hear the furniture industry described as a fashion industry, yet whenever there is a new collection introduction it’s always in some shade of the safe brown and beige tones," said Marco Confalone, president of Leda Furniture. “It doesn’t matter what name you give the finish, it’s still brown. We wanted to showcase something fresh as part of our new introduction, hence the inclusion of the ‘pink & black’ bed option.”

Your eyes should melt into the layers of finishes that glow in the light. These patterns were designed to envelope you in the total experience of finer furniture. The closer you study a piece, the more it should reward you.”
