Woodworker moves to Birmingham to build beehives

Birmingham native Cliff Spencer is closing his Los Angeles woodshop and moving it east. Besides beehives -which Spencer has been developing for some time -  Spencer’s new company Alasaw will manufacture custom handmade items, including furniture and cabinetry. Alasaw will be developing a line of particular pieces of furniture and small household items that describes as “rough and primitive style in nature.” In the next couple of years, Spencer will roll out AlabamaSawyer, a line of more “refined” furniture, which will be marketed to a regional and national audience.
