The whole cabinet is veneered in birchbark and trimmed with yellow birch twigwork. The top is some incredible birds-eye maple with a hand-carved edge. Both the top and the upper shelves are machined with a plate groove for china display. Deer horn pulls are used for the doors and drawers. The upper cabinet is softly lit for the right mood, and the lower cabinet has a shelf for ample storage. The arch-top glass doors lend a touch of elegance to the rustic character of the piece. The back paneling is solid figured maple.
This is a two door Adirondack Hutch, similar to its big brother above except in size, it's 41" W x 21" D x 82" H. The top is a very special piece of curly cherry with a live edge. In this case, solid cherry is used for the back paneling. This hutch is just the right size for a smaller, more traditionally-sized space and won't overwhelm the room.
Here is another three door Adirondack Hutch very similar to the one at the top of this page. this piece was purchased by a local furniture store and used extensively in their advertising. Here you see the hutch displayed on their showroom floor. Sometimes when we build a particular piece we build multiples of 2, 3 or even 4. Because the design and setup involved in woodworking is so time-consuming, this is a way to generate a small economy. Although the underlying case goods are the same, the finished pieces look entirely different. This is due both to the unique character of the natural rustic materials and to the inclusion of different design elements by the artist. Hardly production, but it does help a small shop get out more work... |

This three door
Adirondack Hutch is a large, substantial piece, able to carry a good sized room.
It's 60" W x20" D x 90" T. Fortunately, it breaks down into two pieces for
ease of transport. It is entirely hand-built from solid hardwood (yellow
poplar) for stability and strength.
