www.BrookeandBella.com Owner- Jerome Lauzon Jerome Lauzon and his wife, Cristina, own the Saratoga based business, Brooke and Bella. Brooke and Bella combines the couple’s professional training as engineers with a love of technology and woodworking. Their products fuse traditional workmanship and design. Modern processes include laser and CNC production. Mediums include wood, glass, acrylic, metal, leather. However, they are always experimenting and expanding the product line. “I’m truly blessed to have the opportunity to pursue my creative passions as a maker. Doing so from home has also Given me the flexibility to help care for his young daughter who has special needs. She’s been an example of courage and strength to me. With this I’ve faced and grown, in every way, from my past transgressions and struggles with depression, anxiety, and alcohol. We love our friends, family and life itself. We hope that love can be shared with others through the care we put into each of our products.” - Jerome Lauzon Our work focuses on themes dear to our hearts. The mountains, the woods, animals, and family... We are constantly creating around themes inspired by clients and growing our product offering. With our materials we find that we can tell the story of place and memory in new end emotive ways. Saratoga is famous for the oldest race track in the country. This has drawn generations back each season for hundreds of years. Some of our most popular custom, and production, pieces are creations with images of the city and it’s horses. This is in keeping with the city slogan, “Health, History and Horses.” We chose to live where we do in part because of its proximity to the beautiful Adirondack mountains. We find peace and inspiration in the mountains, at the lakes and in the woods. We have created wood, slate and glass pieces which immortalize the geography or topography of a specific part of the region dear to the hearts of clients or for vacation homes. http://jeromelauzon.brandyourself.com
Catching up on Christmas order pictures. This is a walnut charcuterie board we made for a close friend. The horseshoe is from a #saratogasprings thoroughbred that was extensively cleaned, sealed and embedded as a handle. I’ll post some build pics soon but it was made much easier to do thanks to @shapertools. The finish is by @odiesoil and the epoxy from @superclearepoxy. We’d love to hear your thoughts! 🙂#brookeandbella #brookeandbelladotcom #saratogasprings #saratoga #wilton #horse #racehorse #charcuterie #charcuterieboard #wood #woodworking #woodworker #maker #madewithlove #picoftheday #odiesoil #superclearepoxy #walnut #me #shaper #shapermade (at Wilton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lfwO7HeQH/?igshid=5wg8wlaq1m8z

A Walnut serving dish I made as a Christmas gift. It now resides in Woodstock, Vt. Carving was done using @arbortechie turboplane and random orbital sander. Topped it off with @odiesoil. #BrookeandBella #arbortech #odiesoil #walnut #carving #powercarving #gift #bowl #dish #Saratoga #saratogasprings #woodstock #vermont #maker #making (at Saratoga Springs, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6t0oxHnKmp/?igshid=1sbdpexxp0mvn

I like keeping a dedicated set of dull chisels for bark removal. Always seem to lose them but, luckily, Harbor Freight is always there with a fresh set of dull ones waiting to go. Love the blade protection that comes on it. Really... not necessary. 😂 #makersgonnamake #dullchisels #carving (kinda) #walnut #brookeandbellaofsaratoga #saratoga — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2DUdaZi
