In the spring of 2018, I was approached by a private collector about building a permanent edition of the original Blunderwood. After a little bit of negotiation, we were off and running. Our progress was chronicled in the forthcoming documentary “Blunderwood Portable” by Juan Mandelbaum / Geovision Productions.
This project was a partnership with Nick Lauder, Doug Ruuska, and Michael Dewberry, along with help from dozens of our friends.
