Doing almost nothing for the past few weeks, other than work on the three amazing tables that we are in charge of designing and making for the Winter Park 2012 showhome, things are seemingly falling into place.

Here's a pic of one of the pairs of legs.  I know it looks like both pair's - but believe me - it's only one.

As I type, we just (almost) completed the top.  Have turned it back over (underside up).  And just began mounting the legs.  We've designed the legs so the will be dis-assymbled for shipping, and easily re-assymbled on site - in Winter Park.  (One more thing.  They won't be lined up quite as symetrically as they seem here.)

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.
