Honorable Mention

The Mills Group (Minesing, ON)

2013 Wood Diamond Award

Category – Kitchen European Under $25K

Project Description – Sheet good processed on SCM sliding table saw with Tiger Fence, Ritter Line Boring Machine, and SCM edgebander. Assembly is done by staple and screw. Hinges bored on Minipress. Finishing done with CAT bobcat AAA.

Unusual Aspects – My favourite parts of the kitchen are the finish and the island.
The finish is lightly distressed at the sharp edges to reveal a walnut stain under Benjamin Moore CC-80 Gray Mist. It adds a look similar to a line glaze only its a little more subtle.
The island is impressive just based on its sheer size. It is a single slab that is 10.5’ long x 55” wide.
The cabinetry was done for $23750.

Why I like the CMA – It allows us to network with other like minded business to share information and help solve problems. It has provided a support group of peers that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Learning from others mistakes is less expensive, so getting the advice on the forum from others who have already solved your current problem is worth its weight in gold.
