Following the saw manufacturing works life cutting, as well as drying out (for 3 years) the highly skilled carpenters operate to a kitchen pattern similar the 1 shown below. Because no ii pieces of wood are always the same, they utilization 1 unmarried plank to ensure that at that spot is continuity inwards the wood grain. Step past times step, nosotros watched how the wood is carefully marked alongside chalk as well as cut, the pieces numbered, glued - sometimes alongside the add-on of veneer (not because it's cheaper but because it's technically better) - scraped to smoothen out the joins, sanded as well as oiled.
Sustainably grown as well as harvested wood is used, alongside European Pine as well as Oak grown inwards Denmark, Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany as well as French Republic existence pop choices. Incredibly dedicated to ensuring a high grade of quality, the carpenters really value the arts and crafts as well as materials. And it's no slow feat - they must embark on a four-year apprenticeship, where they acquire how to cut, dry out wood as well as utilization the machines. Knowledge is handed downwardly from the masters, as well as those that succeed are awarded a medal from the queen. I came away from this see seeing outset mitt how the professional person pride rooted deeply inwards the Nordic pattern tradition unites the Garde Hvalsøe company.
