Carole Scott left a modeling career in the Twin Cities several years ago to marry a Crane Lake resort owner and make a life in the northwoods. Carole is artistically gifted and has modeled a new career out of natures gifts. Carole creates had painted ceramic tiles and wooden crafts for residents and visitors to Crane Lake. A stop to visit Carole and scoop up her latest designs has become a "MUST DO" for many visitors.

Down the road from Carole (because everyone is either down the road or up the road in Crane Lake) is one of the youngest craftsmen in Crane Lake. Rob Wheeler turns the areas "tall timber" into "low riders". Rob creates unique log furniture in his shop on the "Gold Coast" of Crane Lake. Many people take home one of Rob's "this-once-was-a-forest" masterpieces to adorn their homes.
