Look at my treasure

Fine craftsmanship is timeless. Terrie Beaudreau is reminded of this each time she looks at the grandfather clock in her home.

The clock was made in the 1930s by her husband’s great-grandfather. The clock, which still runs, is one of several surviving family heirlooms made by Frances Wilson Lisenbee.

Lisenbee was born in Wisconsin in 1865 and moved to North Idaho.

The clock was inherited by Beaudreau’s mother-in-law, Mildred Beaudreau.

In addition to a number of well-crafted hand tools, Terrie Beaudreau also has a small suitcase which is made entirely from wood.

“You can’t help but appreciate that kind of skill when you look at something like this,” Beaudreau said. “Everything he made was so interesting.”
