Trim & Sander specialize in solid wood construction for custom furniture, kitchen cabinets, enclosures and built-in furniture. We work with a variety of woods, always trying to find an aesthetically pleasing solution for each project, with a combination of creative material and professional joinery. Designed with your needs and wants in mind, we strive to give you the best, most beautiful piece of precious art that lasts. Woodwork is where our heart is and it is best summarized in this quote:
Look in the dictionary under the word “solid” and you will find such synonyms as firm, sturdy, strong, durable, whole (not hollow) and pure.
This gives us a sense of what is meant by “solid wood” and also helps us to understand why solid-wood furniture has increased in popularity in the recent years.
The market for solid-wood products is in part made up of people who have maintained, or rediscovered, an appreciation for nature, and for natural materials as opposed to man-made materials. And wood is, of course, a natural material; it is “pure” and “whole”. Because of its durability, it has great intrinsic value when fashioned into furniture. Solid-wood furniture becomes more and more beautiful with age. If it damaged, it can be repaired or restored, which invalidates the charge that solid wood is wasteful of material.
