Last week we began fabrication on the 1st floor bulletin board and began to assemble parts for the mailbox surround and 2nd floor message center. All the pieces are coming together nicely and we’re preparing finish samples for architect approval.

Cherry Crown Moulding

We have been working with a client to supply Custom Profiled Cherry Crown Moulding for an on-going project. This post is an overview of the process. The over-sized moulding is profiled with custom shapers, then sanded and finished at our shop. The stain is a custom mixed wiping stain we had formulated at Sherwin Williams specifically for this job.
