Pioneer
Millworks offices and mills are now 100% wind powered!
Exciting news for the buncha' tree lovin' environmentalist
that we are. This makes PMW flooring not only reclaimed,
but also milled by a 100% renewable power source.
Granted, there are probably questions to be answered,
so
we've taken a stab at some of them here.
While
sorting out some Foundry
Maple that was delivered to us from Missouri,
one of the mill guys found a Buster Brown Shoe Factory
tag. Few things stir up the office more than the stories
& histories we gather about the wood
that becomes a Pioneer Millworks floor.
Speaking
of Foundry Maple, we've just unveiled its sister line.
Boardroom
Maple
adds a more refined look and feel and we think it'll
be the hot item for the Fall.
Kyle
has returned from our first appearance at the Pacific
Coasts Builders Conference [Or PCBC for those of you
in the know.] A lot of great conversations were had
with a number of new clients and they got to show
off their new display - pun intended.
And
for our dealer friends, we're about to unveil a new
webpage we feel may be useful in helping to better
estimate turn around times. You'll find Alan &
Samuel's Molder Blank Inventory on the electric interweb,
which we'll be updating weekly with numbers to help
you know if those "rush jobs" are a possibility.
The
mill update is entering its second phase. More concrete
is being poured, (around a basketball courts' worth.
Hmmm, lunchtime hoops anyone?) and more new equipment
is being installed.
A
little bit of history:

Maple, the more clean-look counterpart to the
popular Foundry Maple, shows beautiful grain
patterns darkened by its exposure to the industrial
environment.
