We recently visited the shop of a local craftsman who works on many of the projects we design. W.B. Richardson makes beautiful furniture, cabinetry, doors and more. His shop is located in Townsend, Tennessee, at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Wade and his staff are artists and it shows in the proportions, finishes and details of all their pieces. They even have a little forge set up to make their own hardware for their furniture pieces. Wade is also known for his unique stick furniture, crafted out of branches and twigs which are fastened into pieces of furniture that could be called art and would fit right in on a Lord of the Rings set.
Drop by the next time you are in Townsend and look through the gallery, you might even get a tour of the shop while you are there. Following are some photos from our visit…
