A look back at some old friends

Work around the shop continues at a frenzied pace.  This afternoon discussion turned to how much things have changed around here. This past summer we made the move out of what was commonly referred to as the “Lean-to” on Highway 60 in Huntsville.

The roof leaked, the doors rattled, the floor was little more than barn board laid on a few risers on the ground.  In the summer it was a sweat box you went outside to cool down and prayed for a breeze. In the winter it was a freezer and not even I let alone the customers wanted to be in there for more than a few minutes at a time.

Currently we are in the planning stages for our new storefront in Huntsville attached to the shop.  I thought it might be fun to take a quick look back at some personal photos of pieces we had in our old store on Highway 60.

A Midboy Flanked by 2 Nitestands.
The Birdhouses were made from an old Sugar Shack right down to the used Maple Spigots.

A Two Door Lowboy with a gorgeous Dark Walnut top.
The Window was recovered from an old home and the flowers were hand painted by a local artist.

This Island has hand-turned legs and a two inch thick top.

This unit was built as one piece. Big Mistake weighed almost as much as a piano!

Thanks for stopping by.
