Normally tenons are hidden in mortises, but when the tenon passes entirely through the piece it is joining, it is called a through tenon. Through tenons are more time-consuming to cut, and are one of the characteristics of Arts & Crafts and Mission style furniture. We like to think of through tenons as "visible joinery" and a demonstration of the craftsperson's skill. © Carolina Timberworks

Beautifully dyed cellulose yarns, hand-placed and pressed onto a metallic foil, are the lines that form the chevron pattern of Reed. While time consuming, laying each yarn individually creates natural irregularity on the wallcovering’s surface and in glimmers of light reflected from the metallic foil underneath. Assembled in a traditional chevron with 6-inch wide bands, this novel technique creates sweeping vertical movement that appears seamless on the wall. A specialty wallcovering, Reed offers a refined palette of subtle colors for sophisticated spaces.

When this Mattawan family moved into their new home it came with an unappealing, non-functional fountain. In a bargain with their 4-year old, the family decided a koi pond would replace their time consuming, high-maintenance indoor aquarium. We were able to replace their existing unsightly fountain with a small lower maintenance koi pond and waterfall.

"I purchased the Hickory stair tread and risers and they came quicker than the delivery date promised!. There was no damage and no need for further sanding. I simply applied one coat of "natural" color stain and 3 coats of clear satin and they were ready to cut to size and install. The cutting was time consuming because each step had to be cut individually to fit the location it was going into, but the end result was fantastic!!. I recommend Hardware Lumber for anyone thinking of redoing their stairs!!!" Steve
