Monteath's fully equipped moulding and milling
facility stands ready to service our customers. Knives for stock and

Mouldings with wider profiles can be segmented and assembled by our skilled
craftsmen. Curved, turned, and flexible mouldings can be manufactured to
precisely match our straight mouldings.

A word
about Mahogany. . .
Over the
last few years the price of Genuine Mahogany has skyrocketed. Today, the
availability of steady supplies of quality lumber is very limited. In
addition, there has been no Genuine Mahogany plywood available for several years.
Two
reasonable substitutes are available in large supplies - African
and Sapele Mahoganies. Both are native to Central Africa and are
significantly cheaper than that of the Genuine. Due to the tendency of the
grain to tear in the machining of African Mahogany, we have chosen to stock
Sapele Mahogany in lumber and plywood. During the first quarter of 2005
we replaced our Genuine Mahogany mouldings with Sapele Mahogany.
We will
continue to stock Genuine Mahogany lumber when available. We will run any
of our stock mouldings from that inventory on a custom basis.
