In 1986 we introduced Northern White Birch veneer, dyed and laminated into thick panels for the gunstock market. Our current product is made using the same processes as before the 2014 fire. The strategic alliance with our veneer supplier(s)combined with the strict achievement of tolerances and quality allows us to produce a laminated panel uniform in dimension and color. Our laminating process uses a proprietary, non-formaldehyde resin which produces the best glue bond we have ever achieved. Importantly, it is in full compliance with CARB formaldehyde standards, a very important marketing advantage for our customers.
