natural oak headboard

Written By Robin Wade

 

Yesterday I delivered this amazing natural oak headboard to my friend's wonderful home on Shoals Creek.  This was my first headboard, but I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.  

Every Spring, after a big rain, driftwood fills his slough.  This piece looks like it came straight out of his slough!

Tony lives on one of my favorite lots around.  It's on a pine shaded peninsula and he just remodeled.  It's a log cabin, but you couldn't see any of the logs once you were inside.  Now, with the remodel, it's - well - amazing.  Oh, just click here if you'd like to see a pic of the http://www.robinwadefurniture.com/natural-oak-headboard/.

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.
