seven gables furniture & design

Attention to detail is a priority.  All furniture is handled in a way that does justice to the peice.  Although it is difficult to have perfect results when some furniture is so far gone in disrepair, it is possible to even take the most flawed peice and make it look brand new.  Seven Gables has spent years of dedication to make furniture look the best it possibly can within each peice's own limitation, while not destroying the value.

Yes, this is the same Cabinet.

One key factor for having great results is top quality materials.  Seven Gables uses the finest fabrics and top quality paints, stains and various applications and methods for a professional appearance.

The styles of art is a blend that comes from all four corners of the U.S.  Paintings of the Northwestern tribes,  Jewelry made with beads from Southwest Arizona area and artifacts made from natural materials.  We also make Native American Styled flutes from different woods.

The Native American flute has been around for thousands of years, and has changed little over this time.  At Seven Gables Design, our goal in making a native style flute is to hand-carve them from start to finish, in order to make an authentic and beautiful sounding instrument, as well as a great looking one, that will last forever.   We sell stock handmade flutes in a variety of keys and woods including Cedar, Maple, Oak, Walnut, Purpleheart, Zebrawood, Poplar, Bubinga, Yellowheart, Ash, Birch, Cherry, Mahogany, Padauk, etc.  We also do custom work too.

This is  my standard fatboy Cedar flute.  It is in the key of G.  Folks love it because it is a nice size

easy to play flute with a bright tone, and is very affordable - 75 bucks.

The purpleheart wood makes a wonderful tone.  This one is in the key of F# and is easy to play.

This style of flute I call the "skinny-boy" because it is thin but makes a nice reverberation and can

handle the air coming in slow and fast.  $150.00

This finished flute is in the key of E and is made of Ambrosia Maple for the body, Walnut on the mouthpeice, Walnut/Cedar bird, and Bunga/Purpleheart/Walnut on the end.  $175.00

Flute prices depend on the type of wood used.  They range from 50.00 for a poplar in the key of

high A, 100.00 to 200.00 for medium sized flutes depending on extras such as inlayed woods or

beadwork.  Larger flutes or drones are basically around 300.00
