Boats. The
Adirondack Mountain Region is credited with giving birth to the rustic furniture
tradition in 19th-century America. The Adirondack chair appears to be based on
the Westport chair designed around 1900 by Thomas Lee, who had a summer cottage
in Westport, New York, on Lake Champlain. One winter Lee lent his chair design
to a hunting partner, Harry Bunnell who was an out of work carpenter. Bunnell
began making what was then called 'Westport Chairs' with backs, seats, and armrests
made of wide planks. He patented his version in 1905. This was the beginning of
the sloped back - wide armrest Adirondack Chair.
The
Adirondack Chair is one of the most popular outdoor chairs in the United States.
The chair incorporates design ideas used for many decades; wide arms, contoured
seat and a scalloped back. Adirondack chairs are comfortable because the chair
back inclines 30 degrees and is curved to conform to your back giving excellent
lower back support. Its deep, angled seat and broad arm rests, make the perfect
place for a plate of food & drink or garden gloves. click

Rustic
Furniture The idea of behind rustic furniture was to create
interesting pieces using natural materials such as twigs and logs that would blend
into a decor and not stand out . Rustic furniture makers today follow the age
old tradition of using natural materials to create spectacular furniture and rustic
decor pieces. Rustic furniture usually has no set line or angles. Each piece is
individually crafted . Once you have a log home with rustic elements you will
want to continue that element with the furniture
and decorations. Finding beautiful log furniture, stairs and railings, and
other pieces that will complement
your beautiful log home is easier than you might think. Log furniture is naturally
beautiful. You can see all of the character and wood grain of the logs used in
every piece of wood furniture. Log furniture made with timbers, twigs and branches
brings nature right into your home or cabin. From custom crafted twig furniture,
stairs and railings to antler chandeliers, your unique rustic
look is just a few clicks away. Gallery

Adirondack
Great Camps
A brief history of the Adirondacks from the first sighting by a European
in 1535,
through the eras of trapping, iron mining, and lumbering, to the development of
railroad and steamboat lines that led to the influx of tourists and building of
the "Great Camps". The sixty years from 1870 to 1930 were the heyday
of these camps, the "Guilded Age" of the Adirondacks. Kaiser gives a
fascinating account both of the personalities who engineered and financed these
fabulous structures and of the bulidings themselves. Click
