AWL is truly a family business. David Barnes, inspired by his father's furniture making, began woodworking at the age of twelve. Thirty-six years later, with twenty years of contracting under his belt, Dave now works side-by-side with his daughter, other family and friends.

AWL is the realization of a dream, building a specialty line of indoor/outdoor furniture - hand crafted not mass produced. Primarily using Alligator Juniper wood, selected over the 100 other species Dave has worked with for its uniqueness, durability (still solid after 100+ years) and beauty.
