Overview: A founding owner using tried and true quality manufacturing methods, a son looking to take the company into the future, a furniture manufacturer at a juncture. With the advent of CNC technology, nesting software, custom panel lay-ups and improved joinery techniques, the owner kept an eye on emerging frame construction technology using engineered wood.

They had the frames tested for strength and the engineered wood frame won hands down. But the conversion process did not happen overnight.
