converting to water based finish

Mar 20

We've been planning to convert our operation over to water based finish for a year or so. We've visited the leading American manufacturer of water based finishes, ValSpar for traininig. And they've been down to make sure it "took". And, between jobs, my buddy David McAffee has been in and out of the shop fabricating and installing all the metalwork. Looks like he's back on the project and should have it complete very soon. 20x20 filters go in each cubicle. And the big vent hood on the floor (left pic) should be installed above these filters next week. You should be hearing more about this big environmental step, once the project is complete, and we really have something to brag about.

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.
