can you share the following with your readers? KING OF WOOD AUTOMOTIVE CRAFTS You name it and Agassiz resident Designer/Craftsman Pierre Lachance will build it. I’ve been designing and carving wood models for 35 years. My handcrafted wooden models range from miniature cars to full-scale motorcycles. I Preserve Past and Present Elite Stunt driver’s websites at www.autothrillshows.com and who I’ve been building models for, including jumper, Evel Knievel’s XR750 wooden Harley stunt bike by his request. My dad, Bobby Chance worked for Evel in the 70’s. I also built the only official Vancouver Molson Indy wooden Firestone Fire Hawk replica model. I’m currently getting the model ready for it’s library 2005 tour. I always had a passion for automotive things ever since a car hit me at the age of seven. Crafting my vehicles with oak, alder and black walnut, etc. using a primitive format and integrating it into a very high teck one. Whether it’s a boxy jalopy a sleek and aerodynamic sports car, or a Chevy with oversized fins. I approach each piece with equal enthusiasm. Every year I hand craft wooden toys and donate several of my pieces to Children’s Hospitals. I don’t carve for money but rather as a labour of love. This is also great therapy for me since my accident. I have an entirely different and aesthetic vision: I transform the metal sculpted lines of vehicles into the warm radiance of wood. I’ve parlayed my love of conveyances and constructing vehicles into an art form and have been winning raves at past shows from automotive enthusiasts. As for Evel Knievel’s wood model, I’m almost done and proudly plan to display my hand-crafted wooden classics at Harrison Hot Spring Beach for the pubic to view for free. Folks can also visit my Art Gallery on line at www.pierrelachance.com Thanks a lot. Pierre Lachance Designer/Craftsman Canada
