Our workmanship
is from generations of experience. We have learned from our fathers
how to create quality furniture that will last.
The three
of us at Our Woodshop are proud of what we make and the way we make
things. We never use the so called "engineered lumber" or what I consider
glorified cardboard like you find in so many kinds of furniture now
a days. We even shy away from most plywood, and if we do use it, it
is the good stuff.
Most of the
things we make are made of nothing but real honest to goodness natural
wood boards. We use
mostly pine, poplar, oak, cherry and old barn siding, but if you want
something else, we can do that too. We hand select the lumber to get
the best stock available. I
buy hard woods directly from the man that
cut down the tree.
Also, we
use a Kreg Jig to make pocket holes and screws things together so that
things will be good and tight for generations. (We buy screws 15000
at a time...) I made one cabinet and when I had the shell done, just
for kicks I counted the screws, there were 95!
We don't
have an assembly line and most things are made by one of us from beginning
to end. We're proud of the things we make and love the thought that
what we make will be passed down from generation to generation.
If something
has to be an EXACT size, let us know, we'll make it that way.
We use Minwax
stains, if you want something stained , check out their website at http://www.minwax.com
and let us know what color you want.
We paint
things White, Barn Red, Hunter Green, Midnight Blue and Black. Or, we
will paint it any other color you want if you supply the paint.
We usually
use wooden knobs and antique brass self closing hinges. If you want
something else, tell us. if you want something specific we would rather
you supply it so there is no confusion.... We will help you out.
Our goal is to make exactly what you want and make sure that you are
a happy customer so that you will come back and you will tell your friends
about us. It's just that simple.
