We are currently working on a custom piece for a beautiful home here in Venice. This 4.5 foot long river type piece has some local shark teeth on a gulf green/blue base of resin. Once completed, this piece will cover the half wall at the entrance making for a beautiful and unique piece of art as people enter this exquisite home. A perfect upgrade over the white top currently in place. Message us if you are interested in something unique for your home that includes a nod to Venice as the Shark Tooth Capitol of the World.

We have designed thinner pieces to place on the columns in your home. The customer for this piece had the original idea and it worked out great. So, we are adding them to our catalogue. This was a custom piece, but I am making more now and will have one available shortly. Thank you to the customer for the great design idea .

The legs for the table have arrived. Here is a video of the table sitting on the legs at the shop. Table is almost done and just needs oiled and the threaded inserts for the legs installed. This piece will really pop once the oil is on. Very happy with how it is coming together. If you know someone here in Venice that would love this, have them hit us up. Check out the comment section for some close up pics.
