CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

On customer's request we will issue a free 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.

Certificate of Authenticity

Certificate of Authenticity

Our studio adds the benefits of modern management to the ancient traditions of Thai craftsmanship to bring you the best in quality and value.

WOOD SPECIES

Teakwood grade “A” (Tectona Grandis Linn)
Taengwood ‘Balau’ (Shorea Obtusa)

Note: The decks of the Titanic were covered in teak, and the wood is as good today as the day she sank on 1912.

WOOD SOURCE

Each door has a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate to guarantee the source was a sustainable plantation.

KILN-DRYING

We keep all our wood in the oven for two (2) weeks to a moisture content of 10-12% followed by one (1) week of ‘resting’ to reabsorb moisture in the air to ~14%. The moisture level is being measured by electronic instruments.

PANELS

1 ¼" (32 mm) DOORS: 22 mm thick panels (standard)
1 ⅜” (35 mm) DOORS: 25 mm thick panels (standard)

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:

STILES: 4 ½” on face (standard)
BOTTOM RAIL: 4 ½” on face (standard)
TOP RAIL: 4 ½” on face (standard)

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 all 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.

FRAME

Common Wood Name Wood Latin Name
Red Wood X. Kerii
Asian Rosewood Pterocarpus Macrocarpus
Taeng Wood (Balau) Shorea Obtusa
