SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE

It has arrived here in Maine. And we are ready. Today is our first day of sun after 8 days of solid rain. The Huston Garden is growing rapidly, and the flowering trees and bushes here are blooming.

Along with drying out and picking vegetables, we've also been building some furniture. Here's an unusual project I thought you might like to see. We've just finished building these chairs for a local client. She is a lovely woman with French heritage and she wanted some chairs with a Fleur de lis on them to represent her ancestry. Made of solid Honduras Mahogany, these chairs were designed by Bill Huston exclusively for her. They are currently waiting for their turn with our finisher who will make them even more beautiful.

This project has been fun for all of us. Our client visited the shop several times to see the process involved in making her chairs, and Saer Huston was always ready to describe and demonstrate his work for her. She will not only have exquisite chairs, but the memory of being involved in their creation as well.

What can we design exclusively for you?
