A native Pennsylvanian, Bill Lenker grew up surrounded by some of the country's most enduring masonry. Inspired by the aged fieldstone walls and edifices of the Keystone state, Bill seeks to bring some of the old country's finest craftsmanship to the great northwest. Seeking out creative solutions infused with an artistic hand, Lenkerbrook's projects can be found around the northwest in client's homes as well as on the civic stage. Public projects include structures in The Olympia Farmer's Market, historic Tumwater Falls Park, the Luhr Beach vestige of the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, and most recently, in The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Amen to that Brad! I've never seen such precision in stone work. Extremely impressive!
The West Side Woods is a land restoration project that is ongoing on the west side of Olympia. Dedicated to healing the earth, invasive plants were removed and replaced with native species that will improve habitat, and act as a filter for runoff. We had the honor of contributing a primitive council.
After a long year of planning, we will be working in concert with Tenino Stone Carvers Keith Phillips and Dan Miller in the creation of a 3 1/2 ton Olympia Beer Logo!

After the piece idled in my barn for most of the last year, I finally installed this backsplash, today! It was carved from Texas limestone. The vanity was built by Thomas Woodworks, of Olympia, a few years ago.

Greetings, from the muddy banks of the Newaukum River, in Chehalis, WA.! Pictured, is some of our progress in the rebuilding of the first four of twelve stone fence columns. After building new CMU cores, we are veneering with a full depth Montana "bronze" ledge stone. The old (hefty) fence rails are.
