| Rustic Cabin/Lodge Furniture Craft Shop An 'online' tour of our Northern Michigan wood yard and furniture shop |
Join us for a 'tour' of our shop, wood yard and facilities
Our furniture building shop, with it's adjoining wood yard and lumber mill, is locate in Northern
Michigan near the forests and woodlots where we find all of our hardwood stock. The hardwood
is all brought to our facility as raw logs, where our workers pick out only the best wood
specimens to use in our beautiful creations. The logs that make the 'final cut' are sliced to size
on a huge, commercial band saw, where our workers can use their years of experience and
knowledge to pick pieces that will be perfect for specific applications. While cutting the logs and
burls, our craftsmen keep a special eye out for blemishes, or other faults in the wood, that might
make for a poor finished product. These lesser grade woods are eliminated from the woods
used for the furniture, as only the most perfect cuts are used in our finished pieces.

| The three pics above show a small number of the logs that are in our yard waiting their turn at being turned into rustic cabin and lodge furniture - not all the logs will prove to be 'perfect' enough for our beautiful pieces. Please just place your cursor over a pic to read an explanation of what is in the picture - thank you |
| Pics above: the logs are brought to the band saws where our craftsmen, knowing what cuts are needed, mill the logs to special dimensions preparing them for their use in creating our furniture. |
| [above left] In this pic, these walnut slabs, cut from one solid log in our mill, await their turn in the kiln to be brought to the optimun moisture content. [Center pic] A pallet of lumber is in the kiln awaiting drying. [right pic] These boards/slabs, have been dried and are waiting for their transport to the workroom to be made into furniture. |
| [above left] Our assembly shop - lathes, joiners, planes, band saws, drill presses [center above] work bench with assorted hand and power tools [above right] finished tables and pieces in the shop waiting their final sanding and 'applied' finish |
| [above left] A special sanding/joining table used in building our rustic furniture [above center] a 'heartwood' dining table awaiting it's final 'finish/sealing' in the sanding and spray room - note the beautiful center grain pattern of the numerous sections of maple heartwood that were joined perfectly to make this one of a kind table [above right] a store room of black popple slabs that are waiting to be made into coffee and end tables |
