My love of woodworking has continued to this day. I began producing fine rustic furniture under the trade name 'Coldfire Woodcraft' in 1973, making beds, bedroom suites, and accessories from dead Eastern Red Cedar trees and lumber. My work over the years has always included sculptural and relief carving along with my furniture creation and design. Carving has of late become my primary focus. https://www.hutchtraver.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515081913108-9Y5SHHLGZJZ5YBGNR28A/Image-1%282%29.jpg Contact https://www.hutchtraver.com/home daily 1.0 2018-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515506911567-CF6JQBX1EBFN45WO418K/shivaoutside.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515503584749-HRWZRSBNB1A8ND7WNW9M/For+the+Mystic+copy.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515504053907-PDPNZ76TP8UH7XTQ4TRA/His+Royal+Hollowness%2C+side.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515504264440-83JNC8G49NYIVVBCXCB0/DSC00963.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515504476392-0578SWCMA1IAIMQ2PQ18/DSC00995.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515504604222-TLQMVQ3JUB9NNM1H1E0B/Family+Farm+Bed.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515507513709-JAAH67QPB02VFGB2MZ49/DFaye+desk+and+chairs%2C+cherry.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515507629835-YIRLRM27UUX6NP0HWTAI/IMG_0094.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cd46cb07869fec09be1be/1515507734232-ED896S9LN9F5SECDAI82/My+Love%2C+My+Flower%2C+bed.JPG Home
