Project Details

A client out of state contacted us looking for a durable hardwood that can withstand moisture in a bathroom. He had already started the project using another hardwood but the wood had started to curl and shrink. He was interested in using FEQ Burmese Teak wood as this hardwood can withstand the moisture indoors as well as outdoors. He had a list of cuts needed for his project as he was redoing the bathroom with a window frame, paneling and trim.  We began by Planing, jointing  and cutting all boards to the right width. We used 4/4 x 6″-8″ wide boards 10′-12′ Long. Using the clients drawing/list we cut each piece to order. The entire process took about 3 hours to accomplish. When packaging we labeled each section by group based on the customers drawing. The customer was so happy to receive the material already labeled for him which made it easier for his to begin his project!!
