NWFA

The season of summer brings forth events and people coming together. Orlando is a huge city with a myriad of events happening all the time; you can never get bored! A few are upcoming in the next several weeks, like Seaworld’s Electric Ocean, 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup soccer matches, and numerous 4th of July celebrations. But another occasion is taking place at the beginning of July that excites the Goodwin Company: the NWFA Expo Come Together 2021!

 

Goodwin has participated in the NWFA’s expos in the past, and we always have a blast! This year, the expo will be taking place July 7th – July 9th at the Orange County Convention Center! The NWFA Expo is the largest tradeshow anywhere that is exclusively dedicated to wood flooring. Here you can see us in previous years, at the 2017 Wood Flooring Expo:

You won’t come out of this event empty-handed; there are many benefits of attending the expo! If you are also in the wood flooring industry, there are many network opportunities available that will hold value for you and/or your business. Attendees will be one of the firsts to see the latest products and trends currently happening with wood flooring. You’ll have the opportunity to meet other guests and professionals who all share similar interests and passions. NWFA’s goal is for people to leave the expo with the information you’ll need to help your business thrive and flourish while staying original and one of a kind.

Jeffrey Forbes Presents to Hawthorne Area Historical Society

Goodwin’s own Jeffrey Forbes was invited to present, “Behind the Scenes in Historic Preservation: A Photographic Journey” to the Hawthorne Area Historical Society as part of their recognition of National Historic Preservation Month.  Jeffrey gave an overview of Goodwin’s mission and role in historic preservation.  He also covered the history of the longleaf forest, introduced a river logging video and presented highlights through stories and photos of the preservation projects that have specified Goodwin’s antique wood, including the Texas Governor’s Mansion, Charnley Norwood House, Beauvoir, Firestone, and the Matheson Museum.

Jeffrey enjoyed talking with the group and would like to thank board members Robert & Pat Moore, Bonita Moore, Mona Moore and Dorothy Smiljanich for extending this invitation for him to speak!

We had a blast last week at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida.  We were proud to have the opportunity to exhibit alongside so many esteemed companies and enjoyed demonstrating how antique wood is being incorporated in contemporary design.

We also ran into a few of our good friends, including Matt Marwick of Precision Floorcrafters, the team from WOCA USA and Norm Abram from This Old House and New Yankee Workshop.

Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) – We Had a BLAST!

Goodwin had an incredible time talking with old friends and meeting new ones at the 2017 Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) held at the beautiful Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. We displayed some of our new products, including pre-finished River-Recovered® and reclaimed heart pine and heart cypress. Many of the people we spoke with confirmed that sinker cypress feature walls are all the rage, as more and more homeowners and businesses are exploring adding them to their home and offices.

Goodwin’s marketing manager, Jeffrey Forbes, produced a short video of highlights from the show. Enjoy!

American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention Re-Cap

Goodwin had a wonderful time making new friends and seeing old ones at the 2017 AIA Convention in Orlando, Florida.  We were pleased to exhibit alongside numerous luxury and high end manufacturers, all showing off the latest architectural products and design trends.  It was refreshing to see just how popular antique wood is in contemporary design. More and more architects are specifying wood for projects outside the scope of historical renovation.  In fact, reclaimed wood kitchen floors, cypress wood walls and antique wood paneling were some of the hottest 2017 contemporary design trends featured at the convention.

For those of you who could not be there, our Marketing Manager, Jeffrey Forbes, produced this video to give you an inside look at the convention. Enjoy!

Tree Fest at Swamphead Brewery 11

Goodwin was proud to be a corporate sponsor of the 3rd Annual Tree Fest , a yearly event to benefit the Alachua Conservation Trust.  Tree Fest, presented by Solar Impact, was hosted by our friends over at Swamphead Brewery. We were excited to collaborate with owner Luke Kemper and marketing director Brandon Nappy on this event.

A few years back, Goodwin provided our antique wood for Swamphead Brewery’s tasting room, affectionately named, “The Wetlands”. The focal point of the room is the feature wall behind the bar which represents every wood Goodwin offers.

Swamphead

The bar top is absolutely gorgeous and was handcrafted from heart cypress and heart pine log rounds hand scribed into one another for a 3D effect.

Swamphead

The seating area is clad in Goodwin’s River-Recovered® Heart Cypress Character, while the window surrounds are a mix of naily heart pine and select heart cypress.

It was exciting for us to see just how much Swamphead Brewery has grown into becoming a staple in the Gainesville community.  We were certainly honored to partner with them on Tree Fest.

Oh, and Amy Lamb of Native House Photography recently took some incredible photos of Swamphead Brewery.  Be sure to check them out:

NWFA

Carol Goodwin and Dan Petersen are enjoying seeing old friends and meeting new ones at the 2017 National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) Expo in Phoenix, Arizona. Carol and Dan are displaying Goodwin’s new install ready products featuring custom colors, textures and environmentally friendly finishes formulated specifically for resinous antique River-Recovered® and reclaimed wood:

  • Zero to very low volatile compounds
  • Second in hardness only to diamonds
  • Customizable to fit your specific design needs
  • Child, pet and environmentally friendly

According to Carol, builders and building design professionals have requested install ready products in the past but they were difficult to offer due to the resinous nature of antique wood.  Now, new finishes formulated specifically for Goodwin allow the company to deliver custom crafted, install ready products to their clients.

Come by and say “hi” to Dan and Carol today and tomorrow (April 13th and 14th) at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.  They are at booth #923.  You will want to see samples of this beautiful wood.
