I think there's another location in Saratoga, and the owner also owns the furniture store up the road....along with a local restaurant. They have a frequent shopper points situation for discounts at one of the multiple locations. They're located in the same section as the Merrell outlet.

Three years ago I purchased a 22" long engraved Lake George image on a 34" slab of spalted maple…read more Other pieces had a glossy finish that I preferred so I asked them to add the epoxy to my piece. They were concerned that it would bleed into the soft wood and I assured them I would still love it. It came out perfect. Over the years I've enjoyed the piece and the place I chose to hang it until one day back in January I decided I wanted a larger version. I emailed them a picture of the current piece asking them if they could do the same on a larger scale to take up the entire wall. After many weeks they found a 101" spalted oak slab and sent me images along with a detailed description of the wood's unique characteristics. We chose a 36" engraved lake image strategically placed at eye level once hung. I was sent digital images of how the final piece would look once engraved. 8 days following agreement to proceed, the piece arrived perfectly packaged in a very professional, custom made crate including custom cut styrofoam and wrap. It was super easy to extract the piece from the crate (just needed a screw driver to unscrew the screws). And when I did, I gasped with joy as it was so impressive looking laying protected in it's cushioned bed. I've decided to save the crate parts (2x4 wood, plywood, and styrofoam) for scrap projects at the house since the pieces are in perfect condition. They attached a french cleat hanger (very stylish and functional) with instructions on how to hang it. In less than 10 minutes I had it on my wall. WOW! I immediately sent them pictures with the message, "I could not have received a better representation of the vision I had in my mind when I embarked on this quest. It is perfect!" Adirondack Live Edge are professionals. They were attentive to details, continually communicated with me throughout the idea and design process, and went above and beyond in the successful creation of my piece. I highly recommend them for any of your live edge wood projects, big or small. Thanks again Justin and team. It is BEAUTIFUL!
