Written By Robin Wade

Quite amazing what $500 can get you in a camera these days.   -Obviously no DSLR here.   First the positive - the first weekend of shooting I actually ended up with some pretty fair pics.  I was able to (carefully) hold the camera by hand steady enough to take 60x images.  The rare occoasion when the light was right, these distance shots were pretty good.  

The primary negative (from one weekend of play), huge issues needing more light in most of the shots using over 20x zoom or so.  Lots to learn here.

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.
