hot summer days - with the pups

Havana (posing below) part great pyrenees.  so calm and happy to be here.


I've almost always lived on some body of water or another. Have done a good bit of boating - large and small - sail and power. At least for now, paddling Cypress Creek with the pups is hard to beat. . . particularly on these scorching southern summer days. In addition to the direct benefit of cooling down, I get some of my best design ideas while in, near, or under the water. My three rescues are always eager to join me. Here are a couple of pics. The 11 year old fisherdog is Kramer. He's constantly looking for fish, and catches one ever 9 years or so. The gals escorting hims are Mattie and Havana.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
