TAKING STOCK
with TOD RIGGIO
Aging Baby Boomers
presents housing dilemma
T
here’s an interesting report from the
Harvard Joint Center for Housing
Studies that states that more than
half of U.S. households are now
headed by someone 50 and over.
“We need to address gaps in the afford-
ability and accessibility of our housing
stock,” says Jennifer Molinsky, the lead au-
thor of the report. “As the number of house-
holds in their 80s grows, it will be essential
that we strengthen the links between hous-
ing, healthcare, and other services.”
The report highlights several notable
trends, including:
• Nearly a third of households age 65
and older (9.7 million) pay at least 30
percent of their income for housing,
and more than half of these pay over
50 percent.
• In 2016, 17 percent of households age
50 and over included someone who
had difficulty climbing stairs or walk-
ing (including 43 percent of those 80
and over). However, according to the
most recent estimates available, only
3.5 percent of U.S. homes had three
key features for those with mobili-
ty challenges: single-floor living, no-
step entries, and extra-wide halls and
doors.
• The share of households 80 and over
that are single-person reaches 57 per-
cent. Among renters of the same age,
77 percent live alone. Single-person
households in need of support or care
must rely on non-resident or paid
caregivers, yet also have lower in-
comes than larger households.
“Given these trends, in the years to come,
supportive and accessible housing will be in
even greater demand for aging households,”
the report concludes.
Working with tools and wood is inherently dangerous. We try to give our readers tips that will enhance their understanding of woodwork-
ing. But our best advice is to make safety your first priority. Always read your owner’s manuals, work with properly maintained equipment
and use safety devices such as blade guards, push sticks and eye protection. Don’t do things you’re not sure you can do safely, including
the techniques described in this publication or in others. Seek proper training if you have questions about woodworking techniques or the
functions of power machinery.

Students experience
manufacturing through Stiles
By Jennifer Hicks

I
n celebration of national Manufacturing Day on Oct.
5, Stiles Machinery opened its doors to students from
three high schools to share with them just how advanced
wood manufacturing has become.
“Opening our doors to local students not only exposes Stiles
to the next generation of potential manufacturing talent but
also exposes the students to a world of opportunities that are
made available through a career in our industry,” says Thom-
as Allott, manager of Stiles Uinversity.
Nearly 100 students visited Stiles’ headquarters and Homag
Machinery North America in Grand Rapids, Mich. Participat-
ing high schools included Forest Hills Northern, East Kent-
wood, and Unity Alternative.
At Homag, they saw how flat-table CNC machines are built
and assembled. At Stiles, they learned how the machines
are programmed and operated. The students rolled up their
sleeves and built a children’s table and chair set being donated
to a local charity. Over 100 local high school students participated in the manufacturing educational

CERF+ offers new

Studio Safety Guide
By Jennifer Hicks

C
ERF+ announces the release of the organization’s new Studio Safety
Guide and resource poster for artists, including woodworkers.
The 12-page guide is designed as a reference and workbook to
help artists reduce risks to themselves, their artwork and their
careers. Topics range from building safety and regulations to the proper han-
dling of hazardous material. Tips and checklists allow for a hands-on approach
to being prepared. A companion poster features key information for a quick
visual reference.
“This latest edition of our Studio Safety materials is part of our ongoing ef-
fort to help artists be prepared and stay safe,” James Hafferman, deputy direc-
tor of CERF+, said in a statement.
“At CERF+, we envision a future where working artists thrive and have a
safety net of resources and support to sustain their livelihood, studio and art.
Often, artists are navigating unfamiliar territory when looking for or managing
studios. In addition to focusing on their art, we want them to have a stable and
safe place to work. The Studio Safety Guide and poster puts a practical tool
into artists’ hands to help them be prepared right away.”
“Studio safety is important because as artists we want to focus our energy on
being creative,” added furniture maker Craig Thibodeau. “That’s difficult to do
while working in an unsafe environment. Keeping safety in mind when setting
up your workspace lets you be more creative in the long run.”
The guide can be downloaded for free at www.cerfplus.org.

Softening of remodeling market predicted
After several years of solid acceleration, an-
nual growth in national home improvement and
repair spending is expected to soften in 2019, ac-
cording to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling
Activity from the Remodeling Futures Program
at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Har-
vard University.
The LIRA projects that year-over-year increases
in residential remodeling expenditures will reach
a decade high of 7.7 percent this year and then
start to drift downward to 6.6 percent through
the third quarter of 2019.
“Rising mortgage interest rates and flat home
sales activity around much of the country are
expected to pinch otherwise very strong growth
in homeowner remodeling spending moving
12 www.woodshopnews.com december 2018
forward,” Chris Herbert, the center’s manag-
ing director, said in a statement. “Low for-sale
inventories are presenting a headwind because
home sales tend to spur investments in remodel-
ing and repair both before a sale and in the years
following.”
“Even so, many other remodeling market in-
dicators including home prices, permit activity,
and retail sales of building materials continue to
strengthen and will support above-average gains
in spending next year,” added Abbe Will, associ-
ate project director in the Remodeling Futures
Program. “Through the third quarter of 2019, an-
nual expenditures for residential improvements
and repairs by homeowners is still expected to
grow to over $350 billion nationally.”

Cherry is ripe for the
picking as price retreats
By Jennifer Hicks

M
arket trends reveal the appeal of
cherry has waned over the past
several years. While limited de-
mand continues for kitchen cab-
inets and traditional furniture, it has fallen out
of favor with designers of commercial projects.
“Twenty years ago, cherry was red hot
until maybe 10 years ago,” says Rick Hearne,
owner of Hearne Hardwoods in Oxford, Pa.
“For architectural millwork purposes, woods
go in and out of fashion. So, after saturating
the market with cherry, the designers had to
switch to a different type of wood because
companies like to change the look of their
stores periodically and when they do, it can
be hundreds of stores. Then the darker woods
came in like the walnut, and the rustic look
is big, rustic oak, knotty oak here, and in Eu-
rope, it’s pretty strong, too.”
Hearne sees the quality of cherry increasing
due to the reduced interest.
Cherry prices went a little crazy at the be-
ginning of 2018, increasing $.70/bf across all
thicknesses, before quickly falling back, ac-
cording to Bruce Stevens of Highland Hard-
woods, a retailer and wholesaler in Brent-
wood, N.H.
“It was quite a surge in pricing for a rel-
atively short period of time,” says Stevens.
“The consumer interest stayed relatively the
same, but maybe because of pressure form ex-
port demand, the price went up the first of the
year into early spring. But almost as quickly
as it went up, it went back down to the nor-
mal range it was in over the past four to five
years.”.
Scott Roberts of Roberts Plywood in Deer
Park, N.Y. says he’s selling cherry at a steady
rate and also notes that the quality available
has increased recently.
“The price went up the first of
the year into early spring. But
almost as quickly as it went up, it
went back down.”
“Although it’s not as desirable in today’s
fashions, it’s being used. Cherry’s a beautiful
traditional wood. Some people are even paint-
ing it because of the good workability of cher-
ry. It has good density, it’s better than poplar
and it’s more well behaved than soft maple.
Others are just going with a clear finish and
mixing it with other woods,” says Roberts.
Retails quotes for 4/4 FAS cherry averaged
out to $5/bf. It jumps to $8/bf for boards 10”
and wider.

Biesse adds PUR option to
Akron 1440 edgebander
By Jennifer Hicks
B
iesse now offers its Akron 1440
edgebander with the company’s new
polyurethane (PUR) application sys-
tem.
This gives the end-user three application
options: with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA),
Biesse’s AirForce hot air system, or the new
TM10 pre-melting system for PUR.
“With the 1440, you can to use all three.
AirForce and PUR as your two primaries,
and you have the ability to run EVA as well,”
says Jason Varelli, brand sales manager for
Biesse North American.
“This is our most popular machine for PUR
because the new TM10 system uses a .26kg
16 www.woodshopnews.com december 2018
slug. It gives the [end-user] more flexibility
versus a larger system that uses a 2kg slug.
The smaller slug allows for quicker glue
changes, reducing the time needed to purge
out the system.
“The application of PUR makes the wood-
worker’s job easier because it allows him
to have a final product with a better bond,
both from a strength and appearance stand-
point, and performance standpoint. PUR is
more moisture, steam, heat, and cold resis-
tant than EVA. So, once the bond with PUR
is cured, it’s done. It cannot be reversed like
EVA can.”
A different tape is used with the AirForce
system, which produces no glue line.
“The tape has a functional layer on the
back and we’re utilizing compressed hot air
around 400-500 degrees Celsius to melt it to
create a chemical bond with the substrate.
It’s the most aesthetic finish you can get, but
because of the heat needed for AirForce there
are some limitations.,” says Varelli.
The Akron 1440 is available with any com-
bination of applications. Standard features
include a quick-change glue applicator, user-
friendly controls, HSD motors and corner
rounding. A setup with AirForce and PUR
starts at $185,000.

Castaly adds its largest
capacity multi-rip saw
By Jennifer Hicks

T
he new 16” multi-rip saw from Casta-
ly Industries, model TRS-5116, has
the ability to cut large panels quickly
and efficiently, according to the com-
pany. It has the largest capacity in the manu-
facturer’s TRS series of in-line rip saws with a
maximum cutting depth of 5-5/8”.
“With ripping accuracy and repeatabil-
ity guaranteed to meet precise tolerances, cou-
pled with durability and longevity, the TRS-
5116 takes a stand as a highly valuable tool for
any high production solid woodshop to have,”
says Castaly’s product manager Bryan Thiele.
The TRS-5116 features a 28” x 67” table,
60-hp main drive motor, automatically lu-
bricated chain block, feed speed of up to 80
fpm, and double anti-kickback fingers that are

“Simply tell Artie what you want, and he
creates the program to make it. Whether you
are wanting to create cabinets, doors, mold-
ings or furniture, Artie will program it for
you,” says Jason Susnjara, Thermwood’s vice
president of marketing.
“These are not pre-programmed libraries.

and do more and more new things. Artie is
easy enough that virtually anyone can work
with him with little or no training.”
The standard Cut Ready 43 is equipped with
a 5’ x 8’ table, a 21-position tool changer and a
vacuum hold-down system. Additional table
sizes and options are available.
“Working with Thermwood’s Cut Ready
can benefit custom woodworkers by tak-
ing away all of the hassle and time required
to learn new software additional technical
skills,” adds Susnjara.
“With the other guys, you are on your own.
Everything needed to make it work from cre-
ating the CNC programs to selecting the tool-
ing is your responsibility. You’ll either need to
learn to program the machine yourself or hire
someone to do it for you. Over time, this can
add up to a lot of money, and if that person
decides to leave, you have to start all over. “

Happy employees, happy boss
Enhancements to the workshop environment, making it safer, easier and
more productive, will pay off
By John English
C
areerBliss calls itself “an online ca-
reer community designed to help
you find happiness in the workplace
and your career.” Granted, such out-
fits might not hold a lot of sway in the rough
and gruff world of woodworking, but the com-
pany publishes a list every year of the happiest
places to work in America. And cynical, merce-
nary people such as financial magazine editors
and mutual fund managers sit up and take no-
tice when the list is published. That’s because
companies with happy employees tend to out-
perform their markets, and do so quite hand-
ily. Satisfied, fulfilled, self-actualized people
produce more and better work.
20 www.woodshopnews.com december 2018
You can see the latest list of happy work-
places at Careerbliss.com. And the first thing
you’ll notice is that there isn’t a single wood-
shop on the list. That’s because most of them
are giant multinational corporations or finan-
cial pillars of Wall Street. But the underlying
logic applies to businesses of all sizes. Keep
your employees happy and your bottom line
will be healthier. People who feel like they
belong to a team will often put the collective
interest above their own and make an extra
effort to ensure communal rather than just in-
dividual success.
In a woodshop or other hands-on environ-
ment, many of the ways that we can improve
loyalty, effort and teamwork are grounded in
such mundane issues as dust, heat and materi-
als handling – physical comforts that engender
a sense of wellbeing. When people feel an
employer is taking care of them, they usually
reciprocate in kind.
And the reverse is also true.
Dust and other hazards
Sometimes it’s a bit of a shock for employers
to find out that their workshop environment
isn’t exactly up to par in their employees’
eyes. This fall, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration responded to a com-
photoS: JohN tRohA/REDUX pLUS
plaint at DuBell Lumber Co. of Medford, N.J.,
and cited the company for exposing employ-
ees to combustible dust and other hazards. As
of Oct. 3, 2018, DuBell faced $106,432 in pro-
posed penalties because it “failed to properly
control combustible dust resulting from wood
processing; train employees on how to control
the release of hazardous energy; and use lock-
out/tag-out procedures and machine guards

Something as simple as having enough clamps can make a difference.
to protect employees from amputations.”
In Greenville, Ala., OSHA cited Structural
Wood Systems Inc. in September for exposing
employees to multiple hazards. The company
faces $85,362 in proposed penalties because it
failed “to ensure employees used protective
eyewear and respirators, implement a respira-
tory protection and permit-required confined
space program, and use guards on a motor-
ized roller conveyer table; and for allowing
combustible wood dust to accumulate, expos-
ing employees to fire and explosion hazards.”
And in Idaho, OSHA cited Merritt Bros.
Lumber Co. in August for exposing employ-
ees to multiple workplace safety hazards at
its Athol facility. Proposed penalties in the
amount of $189,221 were levied because
OSHA said that the company failed “to use
machine guards on trim saws and conveyors,
install handrails on stairways and walkways,
use lockout/tag-out procedures to control
hazardous energy, and train employees on
hazardous chemicals. OSHA also cited the
company for allowing sawdust and other
combustible materials to accumulate.”
If these examples of OSHA enforcement are
making your palms sweat, you’re not alone.
When dealing with a giant government agency,
it’s hard to know what’s required and what’s
acceptable. But there is help and asking for it
shouldn’t get a woodshop owner in trouble.
OSHA’s On-Site Consultation Program (at
osha.gov) offers “no-cost and confidential oc-
cupational safety and health services to small-
and medium-sized businesses in all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, and several U.S. ter-
ritories, with priority given to high-hazard

wood products. Expansion and contraction,

warping, splitting and similar problems are
all related to the amount of ambient moisture
in the air. But humidity is also a major con-
cern for employees, and adding or subtracting
it can change the way that people feel, and
work. Forced air furnaces can dry out skin
and cause mild dehydration in employees,
leaving them feeling a little tired, unfocused
and unmotivated. Adding a central humidifier
to the ductwork is not a very expensive op-
tion and it can often dramatically improve the
workshop environment, and the level of effort
being made by the people who occupy it. The
reverse is true, too. Hot, heavy and damp air
in midsummer slows people down more than
the temperature alone. A dehumidifier can
sometimes do as much good as an air condi-
tioner. It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.

that could assemble an Ikea chair. So, while

larger shops and outsourcing suppliers are
already using robots extensively to handle ma-
terials, that technology is beginning to trickle
down. A visit to AWFS in Las Vegas this com-
ing summer (awfsfair.org) should be a real eye
opener as this technology matures and be-
comes more affordable and more applicable.
Speaking of material handling, one of the
most innovative and clever suppliers in that
field is an Irish company called CombiLift
(combilift.com), which has offices in North Car-
olina. The company makes side loading and
multi-directional forklifts that can slide side-
ways down narrow aisles in warehouses, or
spin full circles on a dime (all of the wheels
can turn independently, as shown in mov-
ies on the website). The factory will custom
build for any application, and in any of several
fuel systems. CombiLift even offers a huge
straddle carrier with a mobile gantry for mov-
ing and loading things such as large trusses or
beams. And the company’s Aisle-Master can
operate in aisles as narrow as 62” while reach-
ing vertically up to 50’.
All of these innovations have one thing in
common – they enhance the workshop envi-
ronment and make it safer, easier and more
productive for woodworkers to do what they
do best.

Pick a card but not
just any graphics card
A
s we’ve talked about before, digital
fabrication requires a workstation
– not a PC – to dependably handle
the required software programs
at the same time. Just as important is a CAD-
oriented graphics card to quickly view designs
and renderings.
Rendering software takes a 2D CAD draw-
ing and generates a 3D photorealistic image.
The process requires a CAD-oriented graphics
card because of the millions of calculations
necessary to process the geometry, viewpoint,
texture, lighting, and shading information.
But shoppers will experience some sticker
shock, particularly in comparison to consum-
er-grade graphic cards for gaming. The cost

is justified by the high quality of renderings,
an essential sales tool to help customers vi-
sualize their dream kitchens or custom furni-
ture, for example.
A CAD-oriented graphics card is designed
and built to process digital visual information
more accurately than gaming-oriented graph-
ics cards. This means the graphical processing
unit (GPU) chips, even though they come off
the same assembly line, are better. Chips are
selected that perform just a bit better, consume
less power and run cooler.
Another difference is a larger video frame
buffer with error correction technology,
which means that intermediate images can
be stored rather than processed, thereby sav-

ing processing time and speeding produc-
tion. And the drivers, a piece of special soft-
ware, are written to integrate the card with
a given CAD program, which also ensures
more accurate images that are generated
faster. This all means lots of people, time and
money are devoted to making sure the cards
and software function flawlessly.
A deeper dive
Computers process information and then
output it as 1’s and 0’s. It takes mathematical
algorithms and the various processing units
in the computer to change those 1’s and 0’s
into words, numbers or images on the moni-
tor and/or output them to a printer as words,
numbers or images.
A graphics card is primarily designed to re-
move the graphical processing tasks from the
central processing unit (CPU) or random-access
memory (RAM). A graphics card has a dedi-
cated GPU and a dedicated RAM known as
VRAM that helps the graphics card process
graphical-oriented data quickly. Modern graph-
ics cards need a heat sink and fans to efficiently
remove the heat from the GPU since they run at
the same high temperatures as a CPU.

for its recommendations. The developer’s tech support has day-to-day

hardware. If a search does not turn up any relevant information, post a
question and wait for answers.
The harder way to analyze a CD-oriented graphics card is through
the manufacturer’s websites and online reviews. These sources tend
to focus on different technical specifications and a variety of tests to
develop benchmark statistics. So, you will need to relate these tests and Divario P-18 Tenso P-14 Clamex P-14

Finding good partners
goes beyond the numbers
A
ccording to the Birthday Paradox,
in a room of 23 people, there is
a 50/50 chance that two people
will share the same birthday. It be-
comes a near certainty with 70 people.
How is that possible? The birthday paradox
is strange, counter-intuitive, and completely
true. It’s only a “paradox” because our brains
can’t handle the compounding power of expo-
nents. We expect probabilities to be linear and
only consider the scenarios we’re involved in.
Through the lens of mathematics, the Birth-
day Paradox demonstrates how the number
of comparisons increase success, and not just
through the shear number of options. If we
apply that same principle to working with and
finding the best people to work with, our odds
for success may be increased exponentially.
By the numbers
We often hear the complaint about how
hard it is to find a good supplier. Although it
does require a well thought out plan to work
with the right kind of people, is it as simple
as increasing the number of businesses you
engage with to find the right fit?
I use several different lumber suppliers even
though many of them carry the same product
and offer the same services. One of the ad-
vantages of working in a large metropolitan

area is an array of suppliers eager to gain
your business. Although logic tells us it will
increase the odds of finding a good fit, it can
also muddy the water because of the number
of options available. Too many choices can
make us lazy in figuring out what our com-
pany really needs.
Whether it’s looking for a good
supplier, subcontractor or client,
the obvious choice may not
always be the best.
Having more suppliers to choose from typi-
cally means you can “specialize” your mate-
rial choices by selecting the best supplier for
each type of product. The reason you want to
specialize material choices is because you’ll
find each supplier has a specific niche which
helps the small business owner make the most
profitable decisions. This can include better
pricing, material quality, return policies and
additional services.
But what if you work in a small rural com-
munity with only one lumber yard? One
thing is certain, the math will tell you there’s
a 100 percent chance that the one-trick pony
Phone 508-295-5280
is going to be the main supplier for your
shop, even if they don’t supply the specific
product you prefer.
Regardless of how many choices we have
before us, we should never feel like we’re
stuck in Mayberry with Andy and Barney.
Instead, we should apply the principle of the
Birthday Paradox to working with people.
What this means is to consider the peripheral
intangibles that the human element brings, not
just relying on more options to find the best
solution.
Getting the right fit
I say it so many times that I feel like a song
stuck in repeat mode. Finding clients that fit
your business personality is the key to success.
I work with a lot of subcontractors, includ-
ing several from the same trade. I like to use
my favorites as often as possible. But often my
favorite subs may not be the best fit for a job. If
a client is very fragile and sensitive to their sur-
roundings, a boisterous individual can upset
the apple cart. When a client is very budget
driven, the top of the line, most expensive sub-
contractor can prevent the job from completion
because their piece of the pie may gobble up
too much of the budget. It’s not a bad thing to
pick and choose and/or play favorites, it just
simply makes for good business sense.
We worked on a kitchen remodel sever-
al years ago that had a very difficult client
with high expectations. As a result, I set the
bar very high in the beginning with a gener-
ous budget for the project. Pricing wasn’t the
issue, it was more about quality and control.
During the course of the project our jour-
ney encountered many bumps and potholes.
It wasn’t an easy trip, but we made regu-
lar progress and even found ways to make
the job more tolerable. As we came closer to
the time of painting, I began to contemplate
which sub to use. My number one choice is a
medium-sized union shop. All the painters are
highly qualified, professional and do impec-
cable work. One of the things I like about this

particular subcontractor is that I never have
to babysit. They are one of the few contrac-
tors I can comfortably send to a job without
worry. They take care of everything and are
so responsible that they could run the project
themselves. The single biggest consideration
about using this company is they are the most
expensive in town. But for a client who wants
quality and is willing to pay, they are the no-
brainer choice. By all outward appearances,
they were the best choice for this project.
Option two is also a very competent, union
trained painter. He’s a one-man show who
does good work for a fair price. The downside
is he requires adult supervision and needs to
be reminded of the quality that is expected.
I chose option two after studying the per-
sonalities of the two parties. The second
painter has a very quirky personality, which
meshed with the quirky nature of the clients.
It was amazing to see the two of them together
during the first meeting. He had her smiling
and communicating agreement in the first

The righT move
Borror CABinets found A good home in KlAmuth fAlls, ore., And is
hAving one of its Best yeArs
By Jennifer hiCKs

A
fter moving from southern California
to Klamath Falls, Ore., with hopes of
starting a business in 1981, it didn’t take
long for Jim Borror to see there was a
niche for custom cabinets. Borror Cabinets
was formed that year as a turnkey cabinetry
service provider and now thrives as the city’s
leading custom shop.
Owned and operated by Jim and his wife
Donna, the company employs 12. While it ac-
commodates a broad geographic radius, most
I do and that helps a lot. Stresses and strains of
jobs sometimes get overwhelming, but what
we put out I think is a good quality product.
That’s what I’m after,” he says.
A good move
Borror started his woodworking career at
the age of 18 working for a high-end cab-
inet shop in Van Nuys, Calif., that served
the greater Los Angeles market. At 25, he
switched to building houses.

work is done for customers in Klamath Falls,
including kitchens and baths for new and re-
modeled high-end residential homes.
Borror, now in his sixties, is proud of the
company’s success and says the key has al-
ways been about providing excellent customer
service. He expects to exceed last year’s gross
revenue of $1.2 million in 2018.
“I feel tired, but it’s been good. I enjoy what
“We decided to move to Oregon and start
a business, not knowing what was here at the
time. It was fine with me,” says Donna. “His
parents were going to retire in Klamath Falls,
and my parents were in Northern California.
We wanted to be near family and liked the
size of the community.”

 looking up. But there were already plenty of building contractors.
“They found out my background was in cabinets and they asked
me to do them, and the business grew out of that,” Jim says. “We
originally built cabinets in our tiny two-car garage and then built a
shop behind that. We finally bought a commercial property about ten
years later. By then we had three employees.”
In 1995, the Borrors moved the operation to its present location, a
spacious 11,000-sq.-ft. building with an outbuilding for storage. They
increased the employee count and production volume.
“Our clients are mostly local contractors. In a small, rural commu-
nity like this, your name is everything. You need a good reputation.
The contractors are very suspicious of anybody new,” says Donna.
The shop produces work to fit Craftsman-style homes, multi-
generational farm homes, contemporary residences and everything in
between. Nearby vacation resorts are also good customers.
“Running Y Ranch Resort is one we do a lot of work for. It’s west of
town between here and Medford. They have an Arnold Palmer [de-
signed] golf course. It’s very big for us,” says Donna.
Local architecture tends to be rustic in style. So, over the years clear
finished and stained wood cabinets became the shop’s specialty. That
started changing three years ago.
“Right now, painted cabinets are really trending. Probably about
half of what we do is painted. We do a lot of white right now. The
next popular is wood stained really dark, or something like a maple
and walnut contrast,” says Donna.
The Borrors have a separate countertop shop based in Central
Point, Ore., run by their son Matthew.

proach to hard economic times, has helped the Borrors claim a vast

CAutiously
optimistiC
As the wood industry deals with challenges and economic
uncertainty, continued growth is predicted
By John English
A
nyone who attended IWF in Atlanta last Au-
gust got a good anecdotal overview of the
wood industry. The tone was cautiously opti-
mistic, with sound sales records to build upon
but a wary eye on interest rates and tariffs.
Since then, one of the stories gathering steam has
been the trade war with China. For example, in October
the Wall Street Journal published an article on ways in
which it says China is dodging American tariffs on ply-
wood and other products by simply changing the import
codes that U.S. Customs uses to flag taxable items. The
newspaper reported that there are some 18,927 different
codes, and Chinese companies just re-brand its product
with one that fudges the line. This practice is apparently
affecting everything from logs to sawblades.
Arguing the other side of that issue, International
Wood products Association executive director Cindy
Squires released a statement that included: “The surge
in code classification rulings reported is not an indica-
tion of questionable export classifications, but a sign that
importers in this high tariff environment are checking if
products are properly classified and asking for govern-
ment rulings when it is unclear. Obtaining a classifica-
tion ruling is one of the specified actions that U.S. Cus-
toms and Border Protection has stated demonstrated that
an importer is fulfilling its legal obligations to comply
with the law.” IWPA is an international trade association
representing imported wood products in North America.
The two nations are also playing at brinkmanship. The
USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service said on Sept. 18 that
“China’s State Council Tariff Commission announced that
it would start enforcing additional import tariffs on U.S.
products exported to China valued at $60 billion.” This
was in response to the U.S. announcement of proposed
additional tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods
entering American ports. The new list from the Chinese
government includes coniferous wood in chips or par-
ticles (which can be used in the manufacture of OSB, MDF
and chipboard), sawdust and wood waste, coniferous
wood in the rough including several varieties of pine,
larch, Douglas and other fir, and spruce. Also included
were hardwoods being exported, especially oak, birch,
poplar, cherry, maple, walnut, ash and beech. Veneers
were listed too, as was particleboard, fiberboard, OSB,
plywood, and some finished products such as picture
frames, cases, windows, posts and flooring, including
wood marquetry and inlaid wood. Overall, the scene is set
for another round of tit-for-tat tariffs early in the new year
with nobody blinking, and that is despite a looming reces-
sion in China and huge budget deficits in the U.S.
Another major story in the wood industry is new
home construction, which is of course related in part to
the trade imbroglio. Primarily because of tariffs and a
couple of large hurricanes, the cost of building a home
skyrocketed over the past few months and has only
just begun to settle. As a result of that and other factors
including the cost of borrowing, new housing starts re-
ported in October were down a bit. The Department of
Housing and Urban Development had some querulous
news about apartment buildings, stating that “privately‐
owned housing units authorized by building permits in
September were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
1,241,000. This is 0.6 percent below the revised August
rate of 1,249,000 and is 1.0 percent below the September
2017 rate of 1,254,000.”

On the other hand, single family permits were up 2.9
percent over August, so there was a bit of good news
there. Actual multi-unit housing starts were down 5.3
percent from August, and single-family home starts
were down 0.9 percent in the same period. Plus, single-
family completions were down 8.7 percent from August.
As more tariffs kick in early next year and interest rates
continue to rise, many economists are predicting a slow-
down in home construction.

 Robert Dietz, chief economist with the Na-
tional Association of Home Builders, said in
late October that “home price gains and rising
interest rates are slowing down the housing
market, particularly in high-cost areas and
among entry-level buyers who are sensitive
to price increases.” NAHB also reports that
“new home sales rose 6.9 percent in the Mid-
west, while sales fell 1.5 percent in the South,
12 percent in the West and 40.6 percent in the
Northeast.”
Woodshop orders are obviously tied some-
what to those numbers. Casework and fur-
niture production tends to follow housing
trends, albeit often several months afterwards
as it takes some time for new homes to be
completed and ready for cabinets.
And the materials being used in woodwork-
ing are changing, too. A report from the Ohio
Forestry Association (ohioforest.org) that was
published last spring includes a graph related
to Eastern U.S. hardwood production. It notes
the region’s output peaked in 1999 at about
12.6 billion board feet. But then the industry
took a nosedive in 2008/9 during the reces-
sion, and only climbed back to a steady pace
in 2014. Over the past three years, production
has stabilized at much lower numbers than
those prior to the recession (2017 was just
8.3 bbf). Part of that is changing consumer
taste, which saw a switch from hardwood to
painted, foil and other finishes in casework,
and also an upswing in laminate rather than
solid hardwood flooring.
Foreign trade
Forecon Inc. (foreconinc.com) is a forest-
ry consulting firm that has served growers
in the New York, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia region for the past 64 years. The
company reports some price declines for
high value logs such as black cherry, maple
and oak over the past few months, but is
also quite optimistic about the new USMCA
agreement that replaced NAFTA.
Most of the provisions of that deal won’t
be activated until 2020, because the govern-
ments of the U.S., Mexico and Canada still
have to approve it. Canada fought hard to
keep Chapter 19 (an arbitration system) in
place as part of the deal, and it succeeded
in doing so. The Canadian government has
used that provision many times over the
years to successfully challenge U.S. restric-
tions on softwood imports. Canada supplies
roughly one-third of U.S. softwoods, and
photo: StEphEN LAM/REDUX pLUS
last year (2017) the U.S. began imposing a 20
percent tariff on that supply, which of course
increased prices. It’s important to remember
that U.S. customers end up paying those
new taxes, not the Canadian government.
Plus, huge fires and pine beetles have also
impacted supplies over the last couple of
years, further edging prices upward. And
it’s not just that the tree inventory has di-
minished, but the fires make access and trans-
portation more difficult, too. Clearing forestry
roads and building new ones adds to the cost
of harvesting, and that ultimately means that
products such as oak veneered plywood are
more expensive.
The rule of thumb among foresters is that
the construction industry gets about 8 sq. ft.
of a new home’s footprint per tree, so a new
home can use between 10 and 29 mbf of soft-
woods. The numbers here are substantial,
when one considers there are a couple of mil-
lion housing starts each month (single and
multi-unit combined).
Custom shop owners who dismiss the soft-
woods market because they don’t build cabi-
nets out of pine may want to keep in mind
that much of the wood product substrate they
use is made with softwood. As spruce, pine
and fir prices climb, so will the cost of sheet
stock cores.
Sales of existing homes
Beyond housing starts, another of the key
indicators for trends in the woodworking in-
dustry is existing home sales. This market
bears watching because such sales impact the
amount of remodeling being done, which is
heavily weighted towards kitchens and baths.
They also reflect the availability of financing
for second mortgages. Existing home sales
have been falling for several months, as inter-

est rates continue to climb. Currently, a 30-
year mortgage for borrowers with excellent
credit is about 5 percent, with another rate
hike predicted for December. After peaking
around 5.7 million homes sold in late 2017,
this year’s number is 5.2 million, which indi-
cates a decline of about 9 percent.
For real estate professionals, and conse-
quently for woodshops, one of the most wor-
rying aspects of the U.S. economy right now is
a massive increase in the nation’s budget defi-
cit – up almost 17 percent in 2018, according to
the Treasury Department (the 2018 financial
year ended on Sept. 30.) Most economists pri-
marily ascribe this to a huge fall-off in corpo-
rate income tax that was part of a one and a
half trillion-dollar tax cut passed by Congress
last year, and also in small part to some in-
creased military spending.
And tariffs haven’t helped much to offset
the shortfall – the new ones only brought in
$6.7 billion more than a year ago, while they
cost industries an awful lot more than that.
Personal income tax collections actually rose
a hair this year, which may further discourage
investment in real estate. But most disturbing
here is the trend. The growth in federal reve-
nue was five times higher (7.5 percent) back in
2014/15 than it was in 2016/17, and it actually
dipped into negative territory by 2018. As the
U.S. government competes more as a borrow-
er against people who are buying homes, that

translated into higher paychecks. Av-

workers in October were $17.96 an

bit since January’s $17.70. That trans-
lates into an annual wage rise of just

inflation rate of 1.9 percent. Shop floor
workers are losing a little ground there.

identify two areas where they see jobs
declining – in finishing (-0.4 percent)
and saw operators (-0.3 percent). One
assumes those mild decreases can be
attributed to projected increases in the
use of robotics and automation.
In the shorter term, both wages and

will continue to decline as they become more

ing that area of production safer, more envi-

new apps from major machinery suppliers
are helping trim the costs of both maintenance

In international trade, the USMCA agree-
ment may open some new avenues for settling
trade issues regarding Canadian softwood
imports. And the current slowdown in the
Chinese economy may encourage that govern-
ment to open the door a crack in negotiations
about hardwood logs, sheet goods and com-
pleted products.
Industry 4.0 and other technological advanc-
es are making shops leaner and more produc-
tive, and this is in some part compensating
for the shortage of trained workers. Plus, sci-
ence is always opening new doors. Take, for
example, tall buildings. In October, Oregon
Business ran a story on veneer manufacturer
Freres Lumber, a company that is running the
first mass-plywood operation in the world.
The factory is pioneering a new direction in
the wood industry, where laminated panels
are being built to replace large steel and iron
structural elements. The ultimate goal here is to
facilitate the construction of essentially wooden
skyscrapers by replacing metal girders with
laminated wooden ones. While this sector is
still in its infancy, and it has had a few hiccups,
it definitely shows a lot of promise.
On a much larger scale, the world popula-
tion continues to grow at a steady rate, and
hereto underperforming economies continue
to emerge and become larger consumers of
everything from kitchens to hospital cabinets
and dining room tables. So, global demand
looks pretty healthy for the wood industry.
Even the domestic outlook is promising. The
U.S. is still in the top 10 nations for personal
income (now ninth, behind Iceland, Norway
and Switzerland among others), and its gross
domestic product (GDP) is still ranked number
one in the world at roughly $20 trillion in mar-
ket value for all goods and services produced
within its borders. However, according to the
CIA, the U.S. has now fallen to 19th in per
capita GDP, and that’s a stat worth watching as
other economies become more automated.
Finally, the World Bank still includes the U.S.
in its list of the top 10 ease-of-doing-business
rankings, coming in at eight (New Zealand
got the top spot, followed by Singapore and
Denmark). Considering the number of overseas
companies represented at both IWF in 2018
and AWFS in 2017, that’s a critical element for
the industry’s continued growth in the global
economy.

that can generate greater profits

N
either glamorous nor fun, waste management is still an
intrinsic step in production. It impacts issues as wide-
ranging as safeguarding employee health to meeting en-
vironmental goals. But there’s one aspect to controlling
waste that always catches the attention of good shop managers – mak-
ing money. That can involve spending less on raw materials, reducing
the cost of cleanup and disposal, and transforming waste into a value-
added product that can be repackaged and sold.
Material savings
Virtually every CAD/CAM package on the market includes some
type of optimizing program. And for shops that don’t own a CNC and
its incumbent software, there are several stand-alone apps available
such as Cutlist Optimizer, SketchCut Lite and MaxCut. Plus, there are
also free online programs such as Optimalon or Workshop-buddy.com.
What all of these programs do is help a woodworker cut parts from
sheet stock in the most efficient manner, thus minimizing waste.
Another way to save on material costs is to limit inventory. One of
the base tenets of lean manufacturing is a concept called JIT (Just-in-
time), which when it’s boiled down to its essence means that a shop
should only order materials for the job in hand, rather than holding
onto a warehouse of sheet stock, hardware, finishes and other case-
work ingredients. Woodworkers who take a look at this concept (and
there are countless resources online) will immediately come across

other aspects of lean manufacturing that deal with the problem of con-
trolling waste. While many of those relate to physical inventory, others
show shops how to reduce other kinds of waste such as employee time
and effort.
Beyond a rack for partial sheets of MDF and other cut-offs, wood-
workers might consider building a few cubbies in some unused corner
of the woodshop to store and sort short lengths of lumber. These can be
arranged first by species, and then by length. It’s amazing how often
an employee will take a couple of feet off the end of a ten-footer when
he only needs a few inches. And avoiding unintentional waste also ex-
tends to storing cut-offs in a dry place where mold isn’t going to be an
issue, and stacking horizontally rather than standing boards up against
a wall, where bowing will occur.
What a woodworker might consider waste, a customer might think of
as character. A few knots can liven up a hickory door panel, and a less
expensive cut can sometimes be more appealing – and more profitable
– than using all heartwood.
Clean-up costs
A well-engineered dust collection system will dramatically reduce
the amount of time that employees spend cleaning their workstations,
setting up machines and dusting off parts before and after machining.
Emptying bags can be a time-consuming chore, but Indiana-based

transformative role of drawings as a promo-
tional tool during the early years of Thomas
Chippendale’s career in London.
The exhibit opened May 14 to celebrate the
300th anniversary of Chippendale’s birth and
has been updated periodically.
Thomas Chippendale (1718–1779) learned
woodworking from his father and has been
recognized in the furniture world since the
mid-18th century. He is known for the fur-
niture produced by his successful London
workshop as well as his influential book of
furniture designs, The Gentleman and Cabi-
net-Maker’s Director. This exhibition looks at
how the publication cemented Chippendale’s
name as England’s most famous cabinetmaker One chair from a set of 14 side chairs by Thomas Chippendale, circa 1772, made of mahogany and
and inspired furniture design up to the pres- covered in morocco leather. Wine rack by Nicholis Kosorok of Kosorok Family Traditions in Roberts,

T
hanks to his customers’ apprecia-
tion for fine wine, Darryl Hogeback
of Denver is thriving with his cus-
tom wine cellar business, Savanté
Wine Cellars.
Hogeback, who’s been focused on wood-
working since high school, founded the com-
pany 15 years ago while running an architec-
tural millwork firm.
“We were doing all of the cabinetry and
millwork for a house in Aspen and they had
a wine cellar in the design and asked if we
wanted to do that to. I said yes and took a
design I did in 1980 for a piece of furniture
and incorporated that into the design of the
wine cellar. It’s a little different than what’s
regularly out there, the redwood ladder style,”
says Hogeback.
“Since then, that became the primary focus. I
do furniture, millwork and cabinetry here and
there. I really felt there was a need for a higher
quality product for the expensive homes.”
Prior to that, homeowners were either pur-
chasing redwood racks online or hiring some-
one to install a redwood ladder-style design,
according to Hogeback.

at any given time. They primarily
use reclaimed white oak, a natural fit
for its moisture and decay resistant
properties. Acrylics and metals are
also used.
Savanté has completed 150 wine
cellars for small closets to enormous
rooms that can hold thousands of
bottles. Most are in Colorado homes
in Aspen, Telluride and Vail.
A few projects stand out, including
the award-winning Clark Room. “It’s
full of intricate curves that required a
lot of steam bending,” explains Ho-
geback. “There is a carousel with 24
bottles on display and each layer ro-
tates around. It’s a patented design.
We also incorporated the inside of
wine barrel heads for the countertop
