Sign for our booth space at High Point MarketSign for our space at High Point Market

In addition to our new full back wall mural, we will have a few other signs around the booth space.  Here's a new one that we were working on yesterday.  It will be attached to a slab that came from the historic Barton Hall / documented by Charles Moore - tree, that we rescued a few years ago.  This will be the first use of this tree since the storm took it down.  We'll leave the blue back intact until we arrive in High Point and start setting up the space next week.

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.
