Visiting San Francisco this week

I don't know anyone that has visited San Francisco that doesn't love it.  Linda and I are really looking forward to this upcoming visit this week.  We haven't visited San Francisco in years. .  .  Maybe a decade!  Will be there Wednesday through Saturday, and you are in the neighborhood, and would like to "talk tables", there's nothing I'd rather do.  I'm looking to find the perfect showroom or designer in the area for our sustainable, one of a kind, high end products.  Or, should you simply be a resident that is looking for a desk or dining table, etc, let's do it!  Friday and Saturday will be the best days for me to meet with you.  Just send me an email (robinwadefurniture@mac.com), and we'll set up a time.  I'm thinking the lobby of my hotel might be a great spot.

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.
