This image shows objects immediately to the right of the beds in the previous photo, as the two items on the left of the image here match the items on the right in the ‘bedroom’ picture.
This stump was carved open and hinged, then some additional materials were put on top to provide a display case for the shotguns. The antlers act as traps for the barrels while on the bottom there are pits carved for the gun butts.
The bottom of the stump has been carved like a refrigerator and hinged on one side to allow closable storage for ammunition, shown displayed both in boxes in front of the stump, but also individual cartridges on the shelves and the door trays.
This image dates from the 1940s.

Bedroom, Shrine of the Pines, Baldwin, Michigan
This image shows two modest beds nicely handcrafted from natural wood shapes and a stump presumably usable as a nightstand.
In the center of the image is a window with a unique framing form, and there are some hunting implements on the wall to the right.
This card dates from the 1940s.
Lounge Room, Shrine of the Pines, Baldwin, Michigan
This image shows the extent of decoration and furnishing typical of the Shrine of the Pines. The table in the center is for gaming, and there are additional table/chair combinations lining the walls. Decorating the walls themselves are hunting trophies of various sorts.
Pretty much everything visible in the picture is crafted from local wood by the man who created the Shrine.
This card dates from the 1940s.
