My first real dive into the magic of wood working was a garage door manufacturing company in Auburn, Wa. I started there as a temp in May of 2003 and couldn't tell the difference between Redwood and Hemlock.
At the time I was hired the company was behind 1200 doors and everything was crazy. From my point of view I couldn't understand the disorganization of everything. I later found out that a few months before I started working there the company only did a few doors on each line per week. They were behind because they closed a plant back east and shifted all the wood door orders to the Auburn plant.
I think it was only a few months into the job and I knew that working with wood was going to be my greatest passion next to music.
By the time I decided to leave custom garage door manufacturing I had worked with Hemlock, Cedar, Spanish Cedar, Redwood, Knotty Pine, Honduras Mahogany, African Mahogany, Vertical Grain Fir, Meranti, Bamboo, White Oak, Pine & Teak.
