Two Grammys to the Civil Wars!

Two Grammys to the Civil Wars!

There's gotta be something in the water around here.  Another BIG instant success that we are going to claim as ours.  Instant success I'm talking about is apparent.  From what I hear it's after a lifetime of hard work.  I have to admit that I haven't yet met (Nashville's?) Joy Williams or our local John Paul White.  And now that they are famous, probably won't get a chance to.  But that doesn't mean I'm not proud, and not gonna claim - Both of em.

Sooo cool that the shoals music traditions are continuing.

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.
