ARTISTIC OFFERINGS
While Woodmansee Woodwrights prides itself on outstanding design and craftsmanship in woodworking
capabilities, what really sets us apart is our artistic offerings both in our woodworking projects and our accessory stand alone artwork. Featuring artwork from a range of artistic family members, our small Gallery/Farm shop displays a limited sampling of pen and ink drawings, paintings, landscape photography, and fiber art to go along with our cabinetry and furniture. We sometimes combine elemnts of this artwork directly into our woodwork to bring you a unique combination of functionality and art, seldom seen in today's world of Big Box Store mass produced cabintery and furniture.
Our custom furniture is a blend of rustic and simple Shaker styles that may mix live edged slabs with re-claimed woods, stone and original artwork. Rather than the "traditional" rustic approach of twig and branch detailing we will sometimes utilize fine pen and ink work to literally "wrap" a piece in vines or branches. Adirondack scenes and wildlife can spring out of panels and doors, or adorn tabletops.
The creative possibilities are endless and we are always experimenting with new design ideas, including input from customers.
Here is just a small sample of some of these items, along with some links to more work..

Sliced Stone
A neighboring artist created these custom leaded panels of thinly sliced stone for the custom cabinet doors we created for his own custom kitchen. Sliced on a special custom built diamond saw, these thin stone panels show breathtaking colors and patterns when backlit by interior cabinet lighting. Truly amazing. Stonework by Edward Glasgow.
