Inspired by pics of the wife watching the boys climbing, and our frequent furry visitors. Had a blast tweaking the design with WS, and they were great all around.

After install, wife said "Too bad you can't put a wood bench next to it". Suprised her today with 300 lbs of sandstone. Kinda weird, but she likes it.
Intro price was $2,400 + shipping, and they threw in a big soapstone dog statue.:)
Buddy needs to help me lower it an inch. Heat shield surround mostly piece of mind, clearances met without it.

Can't wait to do something about the floor now lol

Hehheh . . . every time I see one of these designs with bears, elk, deer, etc. with a fire going I keep thinking it looks like the poor critters are caught up in a hellacious wildfire.
 
Great design. As I posted before, I think this is the start of a whole new phase of wood stove designs.
It reminds me of the old Henry Ford slogan, "You can have any color as long as it's black." Yup, that went over well .... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Haha....never thought of that Jake! Thanks Obender and Doug. I had a native with bow design going, but glad I went with this. If mama bear ain't happy....;) Besides, the basement has enough of that stuff already.
