Superior finishes on real wood moldings start with a molding that is manufactured at appropriate speeds and with ultra sharp tooling. A top-quality molding will also have precisely the same dimensions run after run, ensuring no discrepancies that result in mismatched joints. During the manufacture of its molding, Elias Woodwork uses no diamond tooling, which basically grinds the material to shape. Instead, the Elias process uses only Tangtung and high-speed steel (unless the wood species will not allow). The edges of these two materials are much keener, and therefore provide a better cut that requires far less sanding, and allows stains and finishes to penetrate more evenly. It's the kind of thing you can expect from a woodworking company owned and run by engineers. For more information, call 1-800-665-0623 or visit www.eliaswoodwork.com.
