Here are a few samples from a little program we started called Leftovers. We have teamed up with our good friend Rodney "Rodrigo" McCoubrey to do an art project with the leftover scraps from the broken boards we make handplanes out of. For those of you who make The Leucadia Project a place you call home, you know Rodney's work. Rodney is world renowned for his work in eco folk art and we are so proud to be working with him. 

After salvaging the broken boards we use to make the handplanes we were adamant about using all that we could so that as little as possible goes into the trash. Since the leftovers where not useable by us we handed them over to Rodney to do his thing and were blown away by what he came up with. These are just a few of what came out of his studio. There are more pieces to come!

Since Rodney, Kipp and I are passionate about art education we are also donating a portion of the proceeds to support our local elementary art programs. The first school we will sponsor is Paul Ecke Central. More on that later.

Stay tuned for more works by Rodney. If you would like one of these please feel free to contact us.
