Reid’s in Orlando at the national PGA merchandise show this week. He’s getting away from the snow here, checking out the competition, meeting with our sales reps, and getting together with some past and future clients. Here’s a handful of pictures he sent back to the shop to remind us that we’re not having nearly as much fun as he is… 
Here’s Reid and Mossimo Giannulli of Mossimo clothing and G/Fore golf gloves. We’ve done some work for Mossimo in the past year, and Reid’s old college teammate and roommate, Ricky Barnes, exclusively wear’s G/Fore’s unique colored gloves.
Here’s the Barrington display piece that we made last week. Looks like it got to them just in time for the show…
Here’s a couple shots from the display of our friends at Travis Mathew. First up is their sweet touring truck/bus. It’s got a bar inside! I’m lobbying Reid to let us start working on outfitting one of those for next year’s show. He says we’ll probably have to sell a few more sets of tee markers first… Then, Reid spotted one of the display pieces that we built for Travis Mathew last year.
We’ll have to wait and see if he gets anything else good tomorrow.
We’ve had a few requests from facilities that operate both a casino and a golf course for some tee marker concepts that incorporate a casino feel. Here are a couple design ideas, a large dice and a playing card. The large dice could have a course’s logo incorporated into one face of the die, and the playing card shown here has Circling Raven’s (a great local course and casino) logo.
Here’s a new bag stand design that uses some twisted steel. The twisted steel is very heavy and durable and is a great look for reasonably priced range accessories.
We use what we call “fishscale” (a process of grinding and polishing) on aluminum all the time. For this Barrington leather point of sale display we tried fishscaling some steel. It’s a more subtle look than on the aluminum, but I really like it.
Lastly, here’s a couple recent signs we’ve finished up for Malibu. The colored arrows against the natural rust looks pretty cool.
We were asked to help create some sample display pieces for a leather specialty company called Barrington. This presented two challenges, first their logo was extremely complex and second, they wanted some work done with leather. Turns out the hardest part of cutting the leather is just stretching it out and holding it down. It cuts just fine at low pressure (15000 psi) without garnet. The leather kind of stretches when it gets wet, but looks like it shrinks back down as it dries.
Anyway, check these out. The logo turned out really well, and looks awesome against the leather.
