The eyes are said to be the “windows of the world” but what good are those windows if they’re foggy or dirty? Vision becomes blurry and cloudy, not so? Let’s not stay behind a dirty or foggy glass; get out into the open, see the hope and opportunity beyond the horizon. Crawl to it! Walk to it! Run to it! Does not matter how you get there once you do. Rise, you sons and daughters of Selma! Take back your city, see the gold in your city, and see the gold in one another! Good morning y’all!

What a productive morning stocking up the shop for our future builds! Special thanks to Reid over at SDAC for letting us have this precious scrap wood (cedar and heart-pine)! And Mr Paul at InShape for allowing us to go dumpster diving for pallets aka gold! We’re excited to tell the story of these pieces!

Can't wait to see the masterpieces that are crafted and painted on this table top. The table is multifunction giving the artist options of working a flat surface as well as an adjustable lever which canvas can stand up on. Our beautiful city of Selma is home to many talented artists and inspiring artists. The pieces done by those artists displays passion, vision and caption of beauty which the hands are trying to unearth from the depth of the imagination of the mind. It was an honor for us to work on this build with this talented artist from our city!

What a journey! Selma Wood Company has come a long way since idea conception. Thanks to some brilliant minds and generous people, we were able to pull this off and bring this idea into fruition. I would like to thank Judge Bob Armstrong for casting the vision and planting the initial seed of Abba and Sons, the parent company of Selma Wood Company. Briefly, Abba and Sons is a social entrepreneurship incubator that seeks to serve and benefit the people of Selma with the triple bottom line: spiritually, economically, and socially. Another brilliant mind came and actually birthed the idea while brainstorming with Judge Armstrong. Desmond Looney is my partner in this venture. He is a passionate, spirit-filled young man, with a strong desire to see Selma and her people flourish. He manages the Big River Car Wash, which he uses as a platform to empower kids to not only earn money but regain the keys that will unlock the path to newer possibilities while breaking free from the shackles of social ills and circumstances. Desmond has brought his crucial insight, energy, tools, and woodworking expertise which I am forever grateful for as we embark on this journey.

I would like thank Blue Jean Church for entrusting us with our first project. Completing this project gave us the much needed confidence and confirmation that even with limited tools and resources we could make this work. This project also would not be possible without the help and generosity of Mrs. Cherry Russell and her family who donated invaluable tools and Sam Gindlesberger, a Master of Divinity student at Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. Sam has been around woodworking for a few years now and it was a pleasure having him as our intern, well, more like a teacher to me! Thanks, Sam, for all your hard work, dedication, wisdom, and expertise! What you brought to the table is priceless.

We do want to thank the Hardware stores like Summerlin’s Hardware, Fuller’s Hardware, Builder's Choice for meeting our hardware needs. Dallas Glass as well for providing the glass table tops for Blue Jean’s bar tables. Big thanks to William O'Neal at O'Neal's Woodworking and Robert Armstrong as well, for their advice and guidance. We appreciate y'all brothers! Last but not least, thank you people and city of Selma; we look forward to serving you and adding to the movement of making Selma great again! We are striving to be a business that is “For Selma, By Selma, In Selma!”

Thank you,

Co-founder Nesbert Vaval
