Meet the Weasel!
Weasel Works is run by Gary Sedgwick, who goes by the nickname Weasel.
He is the Weasel, and he does the work!
After 34 years in the research and education field, he retired to pursue his passion turning wood (preferably re-purposed wood) into functional works of art.
Gary is a self-taught carver and wood-turner,
as well as an active member of the Northern Alberta Wood Carvers Association and the Edmonton Wood Turners Guild.
Meet the Staff of Weasel Works
Duchess The Shop Foreman
Duchess is the Shop Foreman.
She starts the day by checking that the Weasel is in the workshop like he should be, and then blows the whistle at the end of the day when it’s time for dinner.
Ever heard of a cat in charge of a weasel before?
Wally The Office Manager
Wally was the Office Manager for 14 years. Wally kept a close eye on the Weasel, making sure that he finished work on time so that they could stroll around the park in the afternoon.
Wally crossed the rainbow bridge to chase gophers in the summer of 2017, but he is still managing Weasel Works in our hearts.
Piper - Security & Catering
Piper was our dedicated security guard who ordered catering when she wasn't busy securing the perimeter. She knew the importance of making sure the Weasel kept his strength up and remembered to eat lunch!
She crossed the rainbow bridge in January 2021, to chase magpies away to her heart’s content and never get tired or sore. We know she’s always keeping an eye on Weasel Works.
Here the Weasel can be seen with his lovely wife Barb, and daughter Kyra who act as sales associates and assist with product quality assurance.
