ain't it grand!

 Christopher Herndon Dowling is a set carpenter and sculptor who lives and works (as you might be able to detect by looking at his work) in Santa Fe. It's kind of a family business—his wife is a muralist and their son is an artist. Full disclosure: He is also my brother.
  He clearly likes the combo of wood and metal, and is 

currently working on the clothespins above. Don't be deceived by scale, they are probably six feet long. In fact most of his work is on a grand scale. Graying clothespins on Block Island?
