Speaking of food, where could you find our creations in the kitchen?  Glad you asked!  New this season is our cutting board/covered cake pan combo.  To clarify the pan; it's a 9x13 pan with an engravable lid (#assortedcolors).  Depending on where you live, it could be called #cakepan #casserole #cheesypotatoes #hotdish
The inspiration for this unique set came about during canning season.  Slicing and dicing lots of produce while the critters wait at our feet for something to hit the round, which is fine and quite comical at times.  Until it comes to peppers.  We just didn't want any discomfort to befall our #furbabies from hot pepper seeds or flesh, so this combo came about as a way to keep track of all pepper parts ~ is that a thing ~ pepper parts?  
You may choose to put scraps in the pan through the opening to carry out to the #compostpile or, put the 'keepers' in the pan to use use cover for the fridge. (hint: small items can set on top of the pan lid in the fridge for more space). 
When food piles up beneath the opening, you just pick up pan and board and gently  shake contents away and continue processing.
Hope you find this as handy as we do!  As shown, there are different color lids ~ contact us for availability.  Also, boards are ally very different colors/species of wood, so no choice there.
We are your #handcrafted connection!

​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!
