NewsNEW Rustic installation at The Lodges of Church Landing on Lake Winnipesaukee - October 02, 2012
This summer we were hard at work installing some new rustic furniture and also some rustic interior elements at The Lodges of Church Landing. A new addition to this luxury rustic style resort on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. We have installed over 50 white birch trees. Some being 20' long. We also detailed both lodges with peeled cedar handrails, half birch log window trim, and 10 rustic TV lift cabinets.
Birch bark veneered beams and poplar siding create the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside.
We installed half log birch window trim, peeled hemlock hand railings, and birch trees throughout all three lodges.

At the end of the day Church Landing is a great place to work while looking out at beautiful Lake Lake Winnipesaukee. Big thanks goes out to Rusty McLear and Patricia Sava for bringing us on board this great project and to their continued business. More News & Publications Upcoming Events |
