 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.
In its 21st year, the American Craft Council Show in Atlanta features many of the nation’s most respected craft artists, who will exhibit and sell their latest high-quality, handmade jewelry, furniture, clothing, home accessories and more. At the southeast’s largest craft show, artists are selected though a rigorous annual jury process to assure the admission of museum-quality work. They will be presenting their latest work in a variety of media, including glass, metal, wood, clay, ceramics and fiber, READ MORE > Paintings by Greenville's Buddy Folk

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.
