TAENG WOOD
Latin name "Shorea Obtusa".
Taeng or Modulus of Elasticity is a hardwood grown in Malaysia and
Indonesia. Natural color of the wood varies from dark reddish to mixture
of yellow and white. Taeng is as hard as Mahogany therefore carving on
Taeng is not as fine as on Teak. Taeng is about 30-40% less expensive
than Teak. It has a coarse grain and provides a good durability. Taeng
is not termite resistant by nature as Teak therefore protective
chemicals are applied. Taeng looks best when stained in darker colors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KILN-DRYING
All wood in the oven for four (4) weeks to a moisture
content of 8-9% followed by two (2) weeks of ‘resting’ to reabsorb
moisture in the air to ~10%. The moisture level is measured by electronic
instruments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PANELS
Structural hardwood V-grooved minimizes the possibility of a joint
separation. Permanently bonded with watertype-1 glue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STILES & RAIL CONSTRUCTION
Mortise and tenon, glued with exterior Type-1 waterproof
glue. Because wood tends to warp when it becomes damp, we make vertical
rails from two separate pieces of wood, then laminating them together
lengthwise, with the grain running in opposite directions. The same is
done with the stiles. Then when moisture penetrates the door, the
laminated pieces tend to bow in opposite directions, negating the warping
effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MOLDING
Molding around lites and panels. Certain designs have recessed molding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PANEL END SEALING
All
panels are end sealed with under coat paint before the door is assembled
to minimize shrinking and swelling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CARVING
Authentic
hand carving by best Thailand’s craftsmen. No
routers, no machine tools are used. Over 4,000 carving styles available
for doors frames casing and lintels in many categories such as Americana,
animals, architectural, Asian, business, Disney, dragons, mythology,
nautical, wildlife and much more...
|
|
|
|
|
|
SANDING
Machine sanded with super fine No. 220 grit paper followed by detailed
hand sanding. No machine or cross grain sand marks. Ready for finish.
|
|
|
|
|
|

We issue a Lifetime
Certificate of Authenticity. The-Wood Studio certifies that every door
we design and make is by order only. This is an original and authentic
product. It is genuine and the only one made by The-Wood Studio. It is not
a replica, a rebuild or repair; it has been newly built by skilled
artisan. No two doors are identical, thus making each one of a kind. Only
authentic hand carving is performed, no routers or machine tools of any
type are used.
