Shop walkthrough


01
Inventory
Every job starts here. A flitch is chosen for the job, and if the drawings name a flitch number, it is held against the order.

02
Seaming in progress
The seamer joins the flitches edge to edge into one face, ready to be glued and pressed.


03
Quality check
The flitches are laid up to match the specification the job calls for and checked against the plans before going to the press.

04
Our pressing process
Adhesive is rolled onto the substrate before the face is placed onto the panel and once applied to the correct thickness the panel goes into the press.

05
Our sanding process
Off the press, a panel goes through the wide-belt sander. Calibrated panels come off it at a stated thickness, the same across the whole run.

06
Wire brushing
Wire brushing runs on the same line, at the depth the spec names. The brushed face is raised along the grain and stays that way under finish.



07
One face at any length
A unique seaming process that allows us to make a panel at any length.




08
Doors
Slab doors, veneered faces, jambs and edgebanding come off the same floor as the panels.


09
Delivery
Panels are stacked, wrapped, loaded on our truck, and shipped out the door for delivery.
