Layered moulding with butt joints offset between the two layers.
This moulding is approximately 4 1/2" wide x 3" thick.

This is our rear mount wafer joint system where a mahogany disk is let into the back surface of the moulding. The segments
are butt jointed together and then the wafer spans the joint. Note that the grain of the 3/16" thck wafer is going
across the joint for maximum strength.

This shows our standard finger joint construction applied to a red oak moulding. Careful grain
and color matching help make the fingers disappear into the grain. In this moulding you have
to look very closely at the joint in order to see the fingers.

This 2 1/2" Colonial pine moulding is shown prior to sanding so as to highlight the
appearance of the fingers in the face of sloped profiles. With wood species such as pine and maple,
which have uniform color and minimal grain pattern, we recommend investing a bit more and
upgrading to the rear mount wafer system displayed above.

This is a laminated moulding that will be applied to a curved wall. The lamination strips are typically
1/8" to 1/4" thick depending upon radius, wood species and moulding thickness.

This is a mohagany moulding made with no visible joints or seams. Its construction is similar to a
strip laminated moulding but the natural grain pattern across the face of the moulding is more pronounced.
In thin strip laminations the grain pattern disappears because the strips are not much wider
then the material removed by the saw blades cutting the strips. In this process the blade cuts
are only a small fraction of the final moulding width. We call this process "steam-lam" because
it combines steam bending of wider strips with laminated constructon.

above our digitizing board. The board is used to digitize tracings of windows, doors etc.
into AutoCAD with extraordinary accuracy. This assures that we will produce mouldings that
accurately fit the templates provided by our customers.

Typical custom made double wall corrugated shipping carton. This type of box
does a good job of protecting our mouldings during shipment. On the rare occasion
we experience shipping damage we will rectify the situation immediately.
