About the Cedar Furniture

​Here at The Cedar Mitten we craft custom cedar furniture (and other things, but that's another blog!).  The design basis is familiar ~ the lower peninsula of the great state of Michigan.  There are similar pieces available, but allow me to point out some methods to note and/or compare. 
We begin with 1"-1 1/2" rough sawn lumber.  This gets run through the planer to a new dimension of 13/16" - yes, a touch heavier than 3/4" !!  We have seen other chairs made with fence cedar ~ barely 1/2".  
We are frequently accused of over-building our creations.  Whether a shanty, gun rack or furniture, we build to last and survive much use.  The Cedar Mitten actually puts 4-on-the-floor; four vertical legs support the sloping side rails to transfer load to the ground.  Also, we install 3 braces to support the back of the chairs; 2 of which are actually screwed to the side supports
Our furniture pieces are a classic addition to your seating needs.  Thank you for visiting!

    I imagine I, Debbie, will be primary blogger.  My husband Floyd and I own Kaleidoscope Laser/The Cedar Mitten and I will do my best to check in regularly to keep everyone up-to-date.
