A Chef's Chef
Scott Frantangelo, who with his wife, Heather, own L'inzio , a favorite restaurant of ours in Ardsley, NY.
NYCS provided the wood used in their new bar space - reclaimed wood for walls, bar and ceiling beams. We also made the triangle stools shown in the picture.
Winter Wonderland
Near home this morning
Yes, it is that old
A hand-hewed 12'L beam from 211 Schermerhorn St. in Brooklyn.
Building was constructed in 1860
It's pretty amazing to think of the human hands that worked on this beam on the eve of the Civil War.
Original builder/owner and his family were the only ones to ever live in the 5-story building when it was a single family dwelling.
