Our Green Commitment
We don't build junk.
Due to our vast woodworking
experience, we know how to choose the proper wood, joinery, and finish
to ensure longevity. In our opinion, manufacturing high quality, long-lasting products is an underappreciated segment of the green movement.
We reinforce our miter joints with wood splines, making the corner joints much stronger. Perfectly executed spline joinery has become our trademark. | |
The three bracket parts are joined with four high quality #10 X 1 ½" long wood screws. |
We optimize our raw material usage.
Optimization
comes quite naturally since we use parts as short as 5 ½" in our Ogee 6
Corbel, and as narrow as 1 ½" in our Straight 8 Shelf Bracket. Also,
when we process a batch of our very popular maple corbels we sort our
parts according to appearance. The most attractive white maple wood
goes into our Maple corbels and the discolored and/or slightly knotty
maple goes into our Paint Grade corbels. This results in a very high
percentage of usable lumber.
We use protein based, biodegradable packing peanuts.
Unfortunately
they still will end up scattered across your yard. However, they may be
used as fertilizer and are degraded by water.
