The
Process
 Lumber Storage |
We bring our lumber in by the truckload. It is stored in a dry area until needed. We rip it and cut it to length if required. Some of the wood is finger joined, some is edge glued, and some is ripped on resaws. All of it goes thru the molders which turns the rough wood into hundreds of different mouldings. |
|
Much of it is sanded, primed, and buffed. All of our moldings are wrapped into easily handled bundles and stored in our warehouse prior to shipment. Many of these mouldings are available to the public in our retail space. |

Auxilliary Operations
 Ed setting up a hydromat moulder. |
In order to run an efficient operation, our equipment needs to be setup and adjusted properly and well maintained. Sometimes this requires building a new machine right from scratch as in the case of our buffers. |
|
It takes dedicated and skilled employees to insure that the molders are set up properly, which produces a finished product of high quality and exact dimensions. |
 Fermin makes a computer adjustment. |
| Machinery, in order to perform properly, must be well maintained. Sometimes to accomplish a certain process properly, a machine must be built from scratch or completely modified. | |
