We believe fine furniture is only part of the puzzle in creating a comfortable home. Accessories, decorations, plants and greenery, and fine art enhance our surroundings and provide a serene environment in which to live. The Home Store's rotating and on-going collections of work by accomplished artists and artisans run the spectrum from fine paitings to intricate wood carvings. All work shown is available for purchase and many of the artisans shown in The Home Store accept commission work as well.

Bob Keniston

Bob's wood turning talents have been viewed and admired by thousands. His annual appearance at Maine's "Blue Ribbon" Fryeburg Fair is a favorite draw for visitors to the forest and wood products pavilion.

We have known Bob for many years and his visits to our shop are always welcomed. There are days when we just want to turn the Open sign around so we can afford Bob the time to tell his stories, sprinkled with reflections and local history. His knowledge of wood, processing from log to treasure, is as apparent in his converstaion as it is in his exceptional work.
