=> Knowledge Base Highlights
Do flecks and flakes sound desirable? If we're talking
oak, they most certainly are. But in the quest for
matching solids and veneers, questions about ordering
materials, and using proper terminology, arise. This
article clears up a little industry-wide confusion on
quartered and rift sawn lumber.

Concrete countertops are in vogue these days, which is
causing some cabinetmakers to consider adding this
alternative top to their repertoire. Get an idea of just
what is involved in a pro job, and see pictures of the
polished product at:

When the face veneer splits on LVL core doors, the builder
wonders if moisture is the culprit - and what part of the
construction is being compromised. He gets some answers here:
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Veneer_Over_LVL_for_DoorBuilding.html
You're after a classic herringbone pattern tabletop. Some
say veneer is the only safe choice in material, while others
assure you that careful use of solid wood can work. Weigh the
options here:

There's no doubt some clients are keen on racking up
frequent flyer miles by paying you with a credit card.
But as a prudent business owner, you've got to
consider the pros and cons of accepting plastic for
payment.
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Choosing_to_Accept_Credit_Cards.html
The road to landing a steady supply of large commercial
jobs can be paved with many problems, but an understanding
of payment terms and contracts can help prevent a few of
those.

Efficient edgebanding is one of the keys to frameless
cabinet construction... And as any group of cabinetmakers
