Custom Hutch of American Chestnut.

Until the early 20th century, American Chestnut trees were deemed "The King of the Forest" but have since been killed off and become endangered.  I salvaged a small amount of American Chestnut wood from an old house in Primm Springs, Tennessee, that had been torn down, making way for a new home to be built.   
The chestnut was used to create this hutch, along with the former tin roof from the same home.
