Great Sacandaga Designs specializes in building custom, one-of-a-kind, Adirondack Rustic style furniture. Each piece is custom designed and hand-crafted using sustainably harvested local forest materials whenever possible.

GSD furniture incorporates various figured woods, bark, twig, and log species, along with wood carving. Each and every GSD project is a unique interpretation of time tested traditional furniture designs.

GSD furniture is built from the ground up – not by simply decorating existing pieces. This method provides great flexibility as to design and time considerations.

GSD custom builds bookcases, cabinets, tables of all sorts, credenzas, dressers, hall trees, sideboards, wardrobes, hutches, custom bars & wine racks, entertainment centers, custom frames & mirrors, vanity sets, and more. GSD can custom build just about any kind of furniture to fit your needs.

GSD works closely with our clients to create the proper look and feel for each piece.

GSD invites you to browse the Gallery where you will find many images of completed Adirondack Rustic style furniture, and other projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact GSD anytime.
