More odd walnut cuts out of the kiln

More odd walnut cuts out of the kiln. Another catch up post from last week in the studio.  Another section of oddball off cuts from the walnut milling operation a few years ago.  Recently receiving them from the kiln.  I keep playing with them, but in general I don't have a game plan for them.  My first thought is to try to use a few of them as legs.  This larger slab is the right size to become a console table leg.  There's a fine line between organic and the old western look (that I'm not very interested in).  Organic with minimal modern lines is my preferred path. 

We'll see how / if all these odd super rustic off cuts make their way into future furniture pieces??  If you have ideas, I'd love to hear!

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.
