Sisters RV Park
set to expand
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
Sisters RV Park at the east
end of town is going to grow.
The Sisters Planning
Commission approved with
conditions, by a 4-0 vote,
expansion of the existing
park on Highway 20 across
from the FivePine campus.
The expansion would
include an additional 12
spaces for non-transient sit-
ing of recreational vehicles,
to be used for long-term
residential use only. Staff
conducted a detailed analy-
sis of applicable standards
and concluded that the
requested site plan satisfies
the approval criteria.
The entire property is
bound by Highway 20 to
the southwest, undeveloped
treed property owned by the
Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department to the north, and
a nature preserve (Hawks
Haven Reserve) to the east
and is approximately 5.13
acres.

Hammers swinging in Sisters
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
Hammers and saws can be
heard daily on construction
sites in the various industrial
parks north of the downtown
commercial district.
One project currently
under construction is a live/
work building in the Sun
Ranch Business Park next to
the new ministorage facil-
ity on Barclay Drive. When
completed, there will be two
separate two-story build-
ings with a parking lot in
between, with an entrance
off Sun Ranch Drive.
On the ground floor of
building one, slated for com-
pletion in June, there will
be three 2,000-square-foot
business spaces with three
apartments above.
The owner of the build-
ings, Art Blumencron of
Sisters, will occupy one of the
business spaces with inven-
tory from his Goby Walnut
Products urban salvage saw-
mill in Portland. He will have
live-edge slabs of maple, wal-
nut and other woods, as well
as 4-foot by 4-foot boxes of
“hobby wood” which he sells
by the pound for people look-
ing for small wood pieces
for crafts and small home
projects.
The second space will
be the location of local
fine furniture craftsman
Adam Bronstein, who owns
Spring Creek Woodworking.
Bronstein creates primarily
commission pieces, work-
ing one-on-one with a client
to design and craft the exact
piece they are seeking. He
builds desks, dining tables,
beds, dressers, and blanket
chests, as well as installing
slab wood counters.
He studied and worked in
forest conservation, and his
love of trees brought him to
woodworking. His work is
reflective of the classic fur-
niture styles of Stickley, Arts
and Crafts, and Shaker, while
incorporating contemporary
details such as live-edge fin-
ishes. He uses traditional
mortise-and-tenon joinery
with select hardwoods.
On his Spring Creek web-
site, Bronstein writes, “What
I like most about making fur-
niture is the honesty of the
