About
Us
Hello,
I'm Jeannie Ridgeway. Seven years ago, my husband
Kevin and I turned our two careers into one.
Kevin
worked as a cabinetmaker and supported his family
with a job he loved, but was somewhat limited in
his "end product".
I worked
in a jewelry store, but had a goal to design and
make my own line of jewelry.

| Both
of us shared our love for the outdoors, often
taking trips to the Adirondack Mountains to enjoy the
water, hills and trees. Stopping in the multitude of
shops there, we fell in love with the furniture and
decorative items which spurred our dream... What
if..? |
 |
The
infamous Labor Day storm of 1998 left us
with an abundant supply of wood just waiting for
our creative minds to fashion into one-of-a-kind
items.
This was
the beginning of Unique Woodworks. We began to look
at each piece of wood as if it had "grown" specifically
for a special finished item.
The unique
grain of the wood plays an integral part in the development
of every piece. |
Ours
is a love story that is never ending. We were married
on a river boat in the Adirondacks. With a love
for the unique, possessing a shop full of tools,
and with an artist's touch, we can turn any piece
of wood into a finely crafted decorative home accessory
or rustic furniture item (done in the Adirondack
twig tradition and embellished with fine carvings).
Since we use no patterns, each piece is a totally
one-of-a-kind original.
Unique
Woodworks has received awards at the New York State Fair
and various art shows for our furniture, picture frames,
and sculptures. Our customers stop by our quaint gallery
for a "quick look", and end up taking home one or more
items time and time again. |
We
proudly display our creations at
the Lake Placid Lodge and the Adirondack
Store in Lake Placid.
Items
are also on display at The Point
on Upper Saranac Lake, the Ralph
Kylloe Gallery in Lake Luzerne,
and in our own gallery in Cleveland,
NY.
The
Unique Woodworks gallery is open
from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday
through Saturday, and from noon
to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. |
 |
| If
you plan on passing through scenic
Central New York, please contact
us for
directions so that you can visit the
gallery and experience these wonderful
creations in person. |
