Museum Of Alabama - delivery/install

Dec 11

We've been working on this one all year. Working the the Museum's directors and top notch design and install teams from DC have been an educational experience. We made seating out of Alabama's best local hardwoods: Walnut, maple, oak, cherry and sassafras. We departed towing a trailer full of 35 pieces at 3:00am.

To say things were hectic down there is an understatement. They had several large crews working 13 hour days, half hour lunch, 7dpw! It was crunch time, with the Governor's visit planned for the next week.

I look forward to seeing the entire project complete during the upcoming grand opening next month.

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.
