Converted Hunt Cabinet

I have a great customer who is a BIG game hunter. When I bought this piece from a military guy in Ozark, all I could imagine is how cool it would be in his Trophy Room. It's a highly carved French Oak Hunt Cabinet from the last quarter of the 19th century.

See some of the over-the-top details of the piece...

We decided to convert it into a gun cabinet. Using crimson felt for the gun barrels and the stocks and soft white LED lighting we ended up with the interior looking like this...

We custom fit the rests to accomadate his ecclectic collection of rifles and shotguns.

New Forms from Old Pieces...

One of our customers had the vision of an antique island in his kitchen. My immediate response is "we don't have anything in the store that I think will work" WRONG.

We took an existing small French Walnut Cabinet in the Henri II style from the late 1800's and made it into an island with a wine rack in the bottom. Ingenious if I do say so myself. 8)

By taking the top off and repositioning it back to back with his bottom half, we got our main body of the island. Next, I took some good advice from a good friend and refashioned a new top entirely. Dressed out the trim with some good solid walnut, a splash of oil and wax and here is what we got...

I am waiting for the granite to be delivered and then someone will have a one of a kind piece in their kitchen to brag on...

Be like our customer, be creative. Everyone can buy a new piece of furniture that everyone on your street has as well, or you can take something with existing character and add your personal touch to it's history.

Can you tell I'm proud of it!?
