Welcome

The Michael McDunn Gallery works to provide a venue to showcase original art and craft primarily of wood, as well as in metal, clay, and forms of two-dimensional media, by regional artists and artisans. Combining high-end furniture on exhibition with the opportunity to receive on-site, customized woodworking consultation from a master craftsman, a unique opportunity exists to obtain very personal works in wood for both homes and businesses.

Paintings by Greenville's Buddy Folk

Buddy Folk grew up in Greenville, SC, and in the late 1940s - early 1950s majored in business administration at Furman University where he was inspired by mentor Charles Blackwood to make a career of his interest in art.
Primarily because Blackwood told Folk his work was good, he decided to attend art school after Furman. He applied to and was accepted at both Cooper Union and Pratt Institute but opted for commercial design at Pratt.

The Gallery

The Gallery features several of Michael McDunn's furniture pieces as well as the artwork of dozens of regional artists. From the watercolor landscapes of Renato Moncini to the delicate wooden vessels of Tom Zumbach, the Gallery offers pieces of interest to tourists and locals alike.

Exhibitions provide the opportunity to network within the community, and the Gallery regularly participates in city-wide events such as First Fridays and Open Studios.

The Woodworking Shop

The Michael McDunn Studio shop was established in 1981, and is 4200 square feet of workspace in the North Main Street area of Greenville.

Above: large walnut slabs being prepared in the shop. This will be a table set for dinner on December 24, 2009. Before and after photos to come.

This country huntboard by Michael McDunn is a reproduction of an original which is currently located at Kiawah Island, SC. The original was built in Upsate SC circa-1800, and has found a home at the River Course Clubhouse, lending strength and charm to the surroundings there.

Constructed of old-growth pine from Jekyll Island, GA, this reproduction's dimensions are 70" x 22 1/4" x 45". The top, back, and bottom are all single-slab pieces of wood, and the drawer fronts are likewise cut from a single piece of wood and bookmatched. The drawers feature all hand-cut dovetails, front and back, and the body is secured with sturdy mortise-and-tenon joinery.

In keeping with the tradition of the original Huntboard, every surface has been hand-planed and hand-scraped.

The rich, honey-colored patina was achieved with a finish consisting of hand-rubbed tung oil and beeswax.
