This walnut 2012 New American Desk is almost complete2012 New American Desk - almost finished

We've got one dimensional joint to go, and finishing of course, before we are completely finished with this 2012 New American Desk that will be showcased in the NAHB 2012 New American Home in Winter Park in February.  Seems a little early, but they've got a big photo shoot coming up that we'd hate to miss out on.

All three of the pieces we are doing for this project are quite unique for us.  I can't wait to see them complete and installed on location.  Just hope I get a chance to get down there and see them in person.

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.
