100A century of maine craftsmanship

inspired by

A century ago, Hans Heistad and my great

grandfather, Captain Edward Harper, labored

on the rugged coastline of Maine.

Hans, a landscape architect, designed and

worked the rocky landscape of a coastal estate.

Captain Harper sailed his schooner “The

Bloomer” past this estate with a cargo of

granite block, destined to build a nearby

lighthouse.

1915the inspiration

Hans O. Heistadcirca 1915

Within eyesight of each other they worked

their passions from wood and stone, creating

masterpieces that stand strong and inspire us

over a century later.

Hans, the son of a boat builder, was a

Norwegian-born landscape architect.

He immigrated to New York to become

a protogé of Frederick Law Olmsted.

Hans worked alongside Olmsted on

prominent national parks such as New

York City’s Central Park.

In 1904, he moved his family to Maine to

work for many years creating landscapes for

summer coastal estates. His pride creation

was an estate called “Weatherend.”

At Weatherend, Hans built outdoor garden

rooms and terraces in harmony with the

Maine coastline. He crafted curved tables

and seating using the boatbuilding skills

that his father taught him.

In 1915, Hans built the furniture that

inspired us.

iii

Forty years later, my father began his talent

as a master furniture and world class yacht

builder. The merging of these talents

created a new expertise. My father honed

this nautical artistry for decades. Always

with perfection in mind and skill at hand,

he built masterpieces for both home and sea.

My dad, Keith Harper circa 1955

1955the craftsmanship

Working alongside my father, I saw him

employ the materials and techniques of a

yacht builder by using marine epoxies,

fasteners, and yacht finishes-- all methods

that withstood the test of weather.

Little did I know this special expertise would

be our destiny, to build heirloom outdoor

furnishings made possible through the

fusion of yachtbuilding skills and materials.

2017the dedication

The inspiration of Hans, along with the craftmanship taught to me by my father, is revealed in the hands of the

dedicated builders at Weatherend. Their story is one of expertise and consummate craftsmanship.

They are dedicated to...

...selecting the perfect wood. ...crafting flawless curves. ...fitting each piece with precision.

...meticulously hand sanding andapplying Weatherend Yacht Finish.

Completing their materpieces with a gold Weatherend plate.
