Saddle Seat Bar Stools

Walnut Bar Stools

Saddle Seat Bar Stools in Solid American Walnut.

The Saddle Seat Bar Stools are handcrafted in solid American Walnut. The sculpted seats are constructed in a frame and panel style construction with the seat rails shaped by hand to develop the contour and profile of the saddle. The trumpet foot style legs are thru mortise and tenon construction into the frame assembly. The Walnut leg stretchers are tenoned into each leg to create a very stable and strong construction.  Each stool is carefully and oil and wax polished to warm glow. The stool size shown is 14″ wide x 10″ deep x 24″ seat height. The stools are designed for a 36″ counter height but custom sizes are available to meet your specific requirements.

Mud Room Cabinets for a Historical House

Mud room cabinets for a historic house in Traverse City, Michigan.  The pair of painted cabinets flank a new door and sidelights that I designed for the project.  The renovation included an entirely new back porch entrance and mud room.

Details for the cabinets were developed from existing woodwork in the house.

 

Mud Room Cabinets

Ekocite Architecture of Royal Oak MI developed the plan and exterior details based on the existing structure.  The door, sidelights, and the cabinets were developed from the beautiful existing moulding details in this important Victorian house. Built-in 1900 for the founder of one Traverse Citys first banks, the house took seven (7) years to complete.
