Custom Woodwork - The Building Process |
|||||
|
From our technical drawings, we prepared a list of materials, labour costs, and projected the timelines. When all were satisfied, we proceeded. When we build we always build from rough planks that we buy from local lumber mills. This supports local business as well as good forest management practices. We mill the rough planks and select the best by their grain and colour. We measured the room, wrote our cutting list, and selected materials from our dried stock (which were later replaced). The we worked these pieces to meet our cutting list requirements. To make the panels and the mantle top we fit the appropriate planks. We sanded and scraped smooth every surface to prepare them for their finish. I prefer to use natural tung oil finish, as we did on this Mantle, but some people prefer stain and varnish.
