Tupelo Furniture MarketWalking the Tupelo Furniture Market Tomorrow

Linda and I will be making the two hour drive tomorrow morning to walk the Tupelo Furniture Market.  Although it's not exactly our market, we usually leave the show having learned a few things.  I'm hoping to see continued (even if small) growth in American Manufacturing.  We'll be stopping in to say hi to our friends with ShawLiving.  And if you will be at the Market in the morning, I'd love to meet for a coffee or brief table talk.  Just text or email me if you'll be in Tupelo tomorrow morning!

Walking the Tupelo Furniture Market Tomorrow

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.
