The unique quality of furniture made by people involved with the program is due in a large part to the belief that the material should be used in a sensitive manner.
Our wood room is stocked with lumber that is generally two inches thick, and preferably sawn "through and through" (across the entire width of the log). "Rotary cut" lumber, commonly available, is a production method that gets a larger yield of dimension lumber, but destroys continuity from plank to plank out of the same log. Elements of a project are bandsawn from rough stock with attention paid to grain graphics and character. |
